Mock NBA Draft has Virginia Tech star a first-round pick by Eastern Conference contender
Jeff Blake-Imagn ImagesWhen Neoklis Avdalas entered the NBA Draft process last spring, he did it to see what feedback he would get. Before going through the process, he verbally committed to Mike Young and Virginia Tech, which was a bit of a surprise, if he withdrew from the NBA Draft.
He ended up withdrawing, was true to his word, and signed with the Hokies, giving them one of the program's top recruits. Playing a year of college was seen as helping him to develop his game more. So far, so good.
