    There will be tough competition, last year's tourney champ IWB Sports Apparel has had a roster overhaul and Gruber Law looks to be the team to beat as they feature last year's Pro MVP Myles McKay (Switzerland) who is teaming up with last year's college MVP Drew Windler (Belmont).

    Here is a quick look at the teams for this year's Pro-Am, clicking on the team name will take you to their entire roster.

    ESPN 540 - If you like high flying action, ESPN 540 has what should be the two best dunkers in the league in Marquette's Deonte Burton and Nebraska-Ohmaha grad Justin Simmons. "Socks" Simmons recorded the highest vertical leap in the Milwaukee Bucks' draft workouts. But those two aren't alone, they also have former Iowa State/Michigan State star Korie Lucious (Poland), Tyrone Gordon and Marquette's John Dawson.

    Athletico - Several of last year's champs have landed on the Athletico roster including Kyle Kelm (UWM), JJ Panoske (UWM) and Dan Tillema (Stevens Point) were all on last year's title team. They are joined by Marquette grad Jake Thomas (Switzerland), Marquette's Todd Mayo & Matt Carlino, UWM's Akeem Springs and MSOE star Austin Stueck.

    BAIRD - If you like the collegiate teams, you will like following Team BAIRD. Marquette's Juan Anderson & Derrick Wilson team up with UWM's Matt Tiby and Evan Richard. Not enough? New Princeton grads TJ Bray and Jimmy Sherbourne are back, Bray just finishing pre-draft workouts with the Knicks & Jazz.

    BrewCityBall - Don't recognize the names? Doesn't matter, this team has been in the title hunt every year of the Pro-Am. Led by two time MVP Dujante Wade, BrewCity also features Green Bay's Carrington Love and now adds in former Creighton star and Globetrotter Larry House along with big man John Chappell (Costa Rica) who played at South Carolina.

    Gruber Law - Where do we start with this one? Can you say Euro Pros? Last year's Pro MVP Myles McKay (Switzerland) teams up with last year's College MVP Drew Windler (Belmont). Add in former Louisville star Jerry Smith (Italy) and former UWM stars Anthony Hill (Portugal) and Ricky Franklin (Portugal) and you have a team with their sights set on the title.

    IWB Sports Apparel - Another team loaded with Euro Pros, IWB Sports is led by Avery Smith (Columbia) who is determined to win a title. Add in former DePaul star Draelon Burns (Japan) and former UWM players Deion James and Mitchell Carter and you have a team with a real shot.

    Scion Dental - Another team that looks to be force. Scion Dental is loaded. Last year's Tourney MVP Jarvis Williams (Luxembourg) leads the way and he is joined by Wisconsin Red Bull 1-on-1 Champ Geo Riley. Seriously, how man guys do you know played hoop on the Island of Alcatraz? Geo Riley did for the Red Bull National 1-on-1 tourney. But it doesn't stop there. They have Marquette newcomers in big man Luke Fischer and Sandy Cohen. If that isn't enough, part timers and former Marquette players Junior Cadougan (Georgia), Wesley Matthews (Portland Trailblazers) and Steve Novak (Toronto Raptors) will play when in town.

    Wilson's Warriors - Then there is Wilson's Warriors. A team with a lot of talented wings. Wilson's Warriors feature Marquette PG Duane Wilson, but on the wing they feature Marquette's Jujuan Johnson and UWM's Trinson White and Austin Arians. Pro-Am veteran and Parkside alum Josh Skatrud has proven he can battle with anyone down low, so do not underestimate this team!

    It will be another summer of non-stop high flying action at Greenfield High School, and remember, ADMISSION IS FREE!! A great opportunity for kids to get some autographs!
