Twelve games into this Virginia Tech career, freshman guard Neoklis Avdalas has been turning heads. When the Hokies visited South Carolina earlier this month for their ACC/SEC Challenge game in Columbia, there were several scouts on hand to watch Avdalas.
He scored 13 points in the Hokies' 86-83 overtime win over the Gamecocks with eight rebounds and eight assists. He had his whole game on display that night. There have been games this season where he has scored the ball, and there have been games where he has been setting up teammates with his pinpoint passing. Regardless, he is opening eyes with the 2026 NBA Draft just six months away.
