This year's tournament is the 56th annual Portsmouth Invitational Tournament (P.I.T.)

There are two NBA pre-draft camps, Portsmouth and Orlando NBA pre-draft camp. Portsmouth, which is only for college basketball seniors, is the less important of the two. Very few players at the Portsmouth Invitational Basketball tournament get drafted in the first round, and a select few do get taken in round 2. The rest often play in the D-League or another American minor league, or head overseas. But, Portsmouth is still important, especially since there are only two camps. And some PIT basketball players who don't make the NBA right away do get signed in the future.
