"A lot of players in college aren't playing with the pros daily. That will help me learn what to do and help me want the ball at crunch time."

"It's a great opportunity for me to get out on the court and experiment with some of the things I have been working on in the off-season."
NBA coach, former NBA Player

"It's great playing here. These guys get to play against us. Normally they see us on TV and it gets them pumped up to face us and it gets us umped too. It's a lot of fun."

"My career definitely was helped by being in the Pro-Am League because it gave me an opportunity to play against top competition in a different format than I'd been used to."
