Since the Grind Session started in 2014, nearly 2500 of its participants have gone on to play at the college or NBA level. "It's paramount to their development to get exposed to different levels of play, different styles of play, and also just new players in different areas," said Vizcarrondo."Their goal is to be a professional basketball player," said Marcus Spencer, Executive Director of Chicago Prep Academy. "So with the college scouts, NBA scouts, it really gives them an opportunity to be seen on a national platform." Games happen all weekend at Malcolm X College.
