Chicago basketball guru Daniel Poneman has teamed up with NBA player Evan Turner to provide local high school and junior college basketball players a free opportunity to change their lives.
The Evan Turner Prospect Showcase is a day-long event that gives 250 athletes the chance to play in front of 150 college scouts and coaches from across the country.
Poneman says that about 70 percent of participants find success at the showcase.
