AJ Dybantsa is already nice but I need him to stop passing up these open jumpers. Eventually he will, but this is really fixable.

#VirginiaTech PG Neoklis Avdalas (6-8, 215, FR) A special performance for Avdalas — brings a unique blend of size, playmaking + scoring versatility. Strong poise in the P&R game. Impressed with the half-court creation + shooting (5-8 3P). 33 PTS, 5 REB & 6 AST vs Providence.
