Incoming Virginia Tech men's basketball star uses filthy move that should fire up fans

It has been some time since the Virginia Tech men's basketball program has had some hype surrounding an incoming freshman. In fact, this season, there is a real chance that when all is said and done next June, veteran coach Mike Young could be looking at having a pair of draft picks in the 2026 NBA Draft on his 2025-26 roster.

Those two players would be Tobi Lawal and incoming freshman Neoklis Avdalas, both of whom entered the NBA Draft process this spring, but withdrew to play another year of college basketball. Lawal, who transferred to Virginia Tech from VCU last season, will play his second season for Young, while Avdalas gave a verbal commitment to the Hokies and then signed after withdrawing. He is not on campus yet as he is playing in the FIBA Eurobasket U20 with Greece, and he had a move that should fire up Tech fans for next season.

Virginia Tech incoming freshman Neoklis Avdalas drops a filthy move in a FIBA matchup

If there is one thing that is clear about Avdalas, it's that he has the opportunity to be a special player at Virginia Tech. Expect him to be able to play multiple positions for the Hokies, and that even includes handling the ball as the point guard. He had a play against Lithuania that Hokies fans hope to see next winter in Blacksburg: a filthy crossover.

That was certainly a filthy move by Avdalas and Virginia Tech fans are hoping that they see that a few times next winter. One thing is clear, Avdalas has multiple ways he can score the ball and that is something Hokies fans have seen a lot of. The Hokies are going to have multiple options on offense next season, but Avdalas might very well end up being their best option. It almost seems too good to be true.
