The historic Portsmouth Invitational Tournament (PIT) once again partnered with BAM Testing to provide comprehensive athletic assessment for top men's college basketball seniors. This legendary event, which began in the 1950s, continues to serve as a crucial pathway to the NBA Draft Combine.
NBA Scouts Witness Standardized Testing Excellence
With NBA scouts filling the stands, this year's PIT showcased not only the on-court skills of elite college seniors but also provided detailed athletic metrics through BAM Testing's standardized assessment protocols. The same professional-grade evaluation system used at the NBA Draft Combine gave scouts objective performance data to complement their eye-test evaluations.
Creating Professional Pathways Through Data
Following in the footsteps of PIT alumni like Jimmy Butler, Derrick White, John Stockton, and Dennis Rodman, this year's participants received comprehensive BAMScore™ profiles and Improvement Gap analyses. These athletic assessments serve as essential navigation tools in their development journey, helping identify specific areas for improvement while tracking progress with scientific precision.

Elite Benchmarking
Participants were benchmarked against BAM's extensive database, which includes metrics from NBA prospects and professionals. This elite comparison provides both players and scouts with valuable context about athletic potential and development needs.
Bridging The Gap
BAM Testing's commitment to "access for all" continues to drive our mission to democratize athletic assessment. By providing the same standardized testing protocols used with NBA prospects to these talented college seniors, we're helping bridge historical gaps in resource allocation and creating clearer pathways to professional opportunities.
The continued success of the Portsmouth Invitational Tournament and BAM Testing's partnership demonstrates our shared commitment to elevating exceptional athletes through data-driven performance evaluation and development tools.
