The PIT is an important tournament for players like Ristic. Not only are the top five players invited to the NBA Combine, but scouts from all across the globe are there making their evaluations.

So hopefully Ristic can have another game like he did Friday and put himself in a favorable spot moving forward.

His last game is Saturday at 1 p.m. EST. Ristic is on the same team as ASU’s Tra Holder and Colorado’s George King.

The box score from Ristic’s first game can be found here. The second can be found here.
