Most would-be freshman college basketball players would be enjoying their final summer at home before going off to college right now. Not Virginia Tech signee Neoklis Avdalas.<\/p>\n
Avdalas is participating in the FIBA U20 EuroBasket, formerly known as the European Championship for Men 22 and Under. Fortunately, we have highlights of Avdalas from the FIBA U20.<\/p>\n

Do you think that will get Cassell Coliseum rocking next season? Avdalas can do a little bit of everything, which you can see in his final stat line.<\/p>\n
Avdalas can play the point, but he can shoot the ball well, too. He shows the ability to set and shoot as well as shoot while he\u2019s on the move. Judging only by his performance in this tournament, it\u2019s clear he\u2019s on the NBA\u2019s radar. There was a chance he would have gone sometime in the second round of last month\u2019s 2025 NBA Draft had he left his name in the draft pool.<\/p>\n
The Hokies have wisely promoted season tickets aggressively after landing Avdalas, even having him participate as well. While it remains to be seen how good Tech will be next season, fans should be excited.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ll continue to follow Avdalas in this tournament, which ends next week.<\/p>\n
