George King to represent CU Buffs at annual Portsmouth Invitational

George King feels satisfied with the way he passed his first test.

Yet this weekend will present a bigger challenge on a bigger stage in King's quest to land an opportunity to compete for an NBA roster spot.

On Wednesday, King is scheduled to fly to Virginia to participate in the 66th annual Portsmouth Invitational, a showcase that brings together 64 college basketball seniors for four days of competition before the scrutiny of scouts and front office personnel.

Last year, former Colorado star Derrick White used a standout performance at the Portsmouth Invitational to catapult a pre-draft campaign that ended with his first-round selection (29th overall) by the San Antonio Spurs.
