Arizona Wildcats' Dusan Ristic invited to Portsmouth Invitational pre-draft event

Arizona senior Dusan Ristic will participate in the April 11-14 Portsmouth Invitational pre-draft camp, giving him exposure with scouts from all over the world and a chance at the NBA combine 

That worked out pretty well last season for UA guard Kadeem Allen, who played well in Portsmouth, then was invited to the NBA Combine and eventually made a surprise No. 53 draft pick by the Boston Celtics.

The top five players in Portsmouth are now given invites to the May NBA Combine.

"It's hard for big guys in these all-star events" to stand out, UA basketball operations director Ryan Reynolds said. "But Dusan has the opportunity to potentially earn the spot in the Combine and every NBA team will be there."

Other Pac-12 players scheduled to attend include UCLA’s Thomas Welsh, ASU’s Shannon Evans and Tra Holder, Colorado’s George King and Cal’s Marcus Lee.
