Avdalas, a 6-foot-9 native of Greece, averaged 12.1 points, 3.1 rebounds and 4.6 assists as a freshman in Blacksburg. In the second game of his career, Avdalas had 33 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, going 5-for-8 from 3-point range, in a win over Providence. He skyrocketed up in NBA mock drafts on the heels of that game, looking like a projected first-round pick.
Kelsey Plum, a four-time All-Star, averaged 19.5 points and 5.7 assists last season with the Sparks, her first campaign with the organization after previously spending her entire career with the San Antonio Stars/Las Vegas Aces franchise.
