The Deal:
Samuel Archer Hall is one of the few indoor spots in Atlanta where there is decent run day in and day out. Located on the campus of Morehouse College, Archer served as the Men’s basketball home court until the state-of-the-art Forbes Arena was built in 1996.

The court located closest to the swimming pool is the more competitive of the two, while the court facing the entrance is more for those guys looking just to run up and down. Later in the evening the main full court is used and some of the better ballers in the area come and go to work. Former Georgia Tech standout Jarrett Jack as well as And 1 Mix Tape star Hot Sauce have both come to Archer to display their talents.
