2026 NBA Draft Could Be Historic for Virginia Tech Men’s Basketball

Since the NBA Draft shrunk to two rounds, Virginia Tech has never had two players selected in the draft. Prior to that, the Hokies only had two players selected in the top 60 (the equivalent size of today’s draft) of the same draft once in 1986 when Dell Curry was selected 15th overall by Utah and Keith Colbert was selected 56th overall by Philadelphia. Bobby Beecher was also selected 91st overall by Sacramento during that draft.

That could change in 2026 with Neoklis Avdalas being on the first round radar and Tobi Lawal being a potential second round pick.

Let’s start with Avdalas who has already been listed by many as a name to the watch in the 2026 NBA Draft.
