The ALL-ACC player averaged 15.8 points per game to guide the Hokies to their first-ever ACC tournament title. He recorded a team-high eight double-doubles including to in the ACC championship run.

Aluma worked out for the Charlotte Hornets, Washington Wizards, Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics leading up to Thursday night’s NBA Draft.

Aluma’s college career began with head coach Mike Young at Wofford before following coach Young to Virginia Tech. He started all 58 games he appeared in from 2020-2022.

Another big man from a Commonwealth school will also be hitting the hardwoods. Richmond’s Grant Golden will play summer league with the Atlanta Hawks.
