## Resource

Virginia basketball’s four-star starting lineup is locked in, but the fifth spot—shooting guard—is up for grabs. While transfers Jurian Dixon and Christian Harmon bring scoring punch, the wildcard is Nolan Adekunle: a 24-year-old European vet with elite three-point shooting and lockdown defense. He could slide into small forward, freeing Sam Lewis to guard the perimeter, offering a perfect fit for Coach Odom’s system. Even as a bench piece, Adekunle could elevate Virginia’s defense and spacing—making him a critical piece to complement the already-solid core.
