While the 2024-25 Clemson basketball season is in the books, there's still one more chance to watch the senior Tigers take the court.
The annual Portsmouth Invitational Tournament, which takes place on April 16-19, will now feature a trio of Clemson seniors who were invited to participate in the event this week. This is an event focused on getting the top seniors in the country to play in a tournament with eight teams in front of NBA and international scouts.
A trio of Tigers will be looking to boost their professional stock next week.
First, Chase Hunter was invited to partake in the pre-draft invitational tournament.

The first-team All-ACC selection will be partaking in the tournament from April 16-19 and two of his teammates will be joining him.
The next Clemson Tiger to be invited to the Portsmouth Invitational is Ian Schieffelin. The senior big man was an All-ACC second-team selection and also a fan favorite. He was one of the best players in the ACC this season and now he gets to prove himself in front of NBA scouts next week.

Schieffelin and Hunter weren't the only Tigers to be invited, however.
Viktor Lakhin, a transfer who joined the team in 2024-25, will also be participating.

Lakhin was a fun player to watch this past season and it's a shame he was only on the team for one season because he would've become a true fan favorite if he stuck around longer. He played his first three seasons at Cincinnati before transferring to Clemson.
As you can see, only one senior Tiger was missing from the invitees list and that was Jaeden Zackery. He is still trying to get an extra year of eligibility which would help the roster immensely.
