Rick Pitino says the Louisville Cardinals are going to do something that Kentucky fans are familiar with.
According to Pitino, the Cards will hold a “pro day” this fall NBA scouts and executives.
Here are more details from the Courier-Journal:
Pitino and his staff haven’t set a date yet – they’re trying to make time amid an increasingly busier fall schedule – but the coach expects representatives from all 30 NBA teams to attend.
“Because this team is so young, I want to see how they perform in a very intense practice in front of pro scouts,” Pitino told the Courier-Journal. “We’re going to probably have the No. 1 schedule in the nation again, and that is a lot of pressure that a young team will go through. We’re young in certain areas and very experienced in others, so I think it’s going to be good for these guys to play in front of pro scouts in one day.”
“This,” he added, “is just going to help our basketball team mature.”
