George Mason guard D’Shawn Schwartz continues his busy April with a trip down I-95 for the prestigious Portsmouth Invitational this week.
The event is a major pre-NBA Draft showcase of the top post-collegiate prospects in the nation.
Schwartz will compete as part of the Portsmouth Sports Club team, which includes Trent Frazier (Illinois), Malik Williams (Louisville), John Fulkerson (Tennessee) and Alex O’Connell (Creighton), among others.
The team competition on Thursday at 7 p.m. vs. Sales Systems, Ltd. Schwartz & Co. will play two additional contests on Friday and Saturday, with the schedule determined by game-to-game results.
