Players from FIU and UM have been invited to participate in the Portsmouth Invitational, where they will showcase their skills before NBA representatives. It’s a pre-NBA Draft camp where 64 of the best NCAA Basketball seniors take part in a four-day, 12-game tournament. The tournament will be hosted in Portsmouth, Virginia, at Churchland High School from April 15-18.

Corey Stephenson

Coming off one of the best seasons in FIU history, Corey Stephenson is the first Panther to ever be selected for the PIT. He averaged 18 points per game, scoring the fifth-most points in program history while being named to the All-Conference Second Team.

Requiring a minimum of 70 conversions, his .398 three-point percentage was the second highest in FIU history. Stephenson averaged 6.4 rebounds per game while shooting over 45 percent from the floor. He scored in double digits in all but one game last season.
