Dwayne Wise, Under Armour B'more Finest's director of basketball operations, told The Sun that a team of Under Armour-sponsored pros will take on a team made up mostly of Baltimore players.

Brandon Jennings (Milwaukee Bucks), Kemba Walker (Charlotte Bobcats), former Terps star Greivis Vasquez (New Orleans Hornets), DeAndre Jordan (Los Angeles Clippers) and Derrick Williams (Minnesota Timberwolves) will lead the UA pros team against a B'more Finest squad featuring Portland Trailblazers rookie Will Barton (Lake Clifton), second-year Memphis Grizzlies guard Josh Selby (Lake Clifton), Sacramento Kings center DeMarcus Cousins, Patterson senior guard Aquille Carr and St. Frances junior forward Dwayne Morgan. Carr, a consensus four-star prospect, is committed to Seton Hall. Morgan, who spent his first two years of high school at City, is a five-star prospect with offers from Florida, Georgetown, Maryland, Miami, Seton Hall, South Florida and UNLV, among others.

During the NBA lockout last November, a Vasquez-led Under Armour team beat St. Frances' varsity, 88-85, in an exhibition at the East Baltimore school. Wise said this year's UA exhibition will "add a different look."

Doors open Tuesday at 6:30 p.m., with the tip set for 7:30. The cost for tickets, which can be purchased at the door, is $10 for adults and $5 for kids.
