Minnesota Timberwolves guard Nickeil Alexander-Walker came out of Virginia Tech in 2019 as a highly touted, two-way combo guard with the shooting, driving and playmaking skills NBA teams look for in first-round guard prospects, especially at 6-foot-5 with a 6-foot-10 wingspan. The former Hokies star as a sophomore averaged 16.2 points on 47.4 / 37.4 / 77.8 shooting splits, 4.1 rebounds, 4.0 assists-to-2.9 turnovers, and 2.4 stocks across 34.3 minutes per game (and shot 38.3% from deep on 303 career attempts in Blacksburg), a legitimate resume to match the evident talent that popped on film.
