A 6-foot-8 forward who didn’t start playing ball until age 16, Lawal bounced around before landing at VCU and then Virginia Tech, where he became a starter, averaging 12.3 points and 8.5 rebounds while shooting over 58% for his career. At the NBA Combine, he posted a 40-inch standing vertical and a 45.5-inch max vertical — tied for second all-time. Known for defense, rim-finishing, and hustle, Lawal’s outside shot needs work — but his upside is undeniable. He’s the first Hokies player drafted since Nickeil Alexander-Walker (who’s now an NBA Most Improved Player), so the Hokies’ faithful are already cheering him on.
