NORFOLK, Va. - While the NBA pits its rookies against one another in it's annual Vegas Summer League, Hampton Roads has put together a summer staple on the hardwood as well.
Over the next month, hoopers from college-bound to former professional players will compete with one another at the 14th annual 7 Cities Pro-Am. Top local talent flocks to Norview High to put on a show.
For the players already in college, not only does it give them the chance to see how they stack up against their peers, but also a chance to come back home.
"It's all fun," Radford guard Donald Hicks told News 3. "It feels good to be back at home and staying with family, and I know all the guys, so its fun to be out here playing."
The tournament runs each weekend through the month of July, with playoffs starting July 22nd.
