I dont know where 4.5 is coming from...

But I do know a coach who had a zoom with Avdalas and was a finalist. Exactly what he told me was their number to him was 3.8, and that they took that number to UNC who wouldn't come above 3.6 but sold him on Malone and how he can prepare him for the next level 3.6 million is key because thats the amount for the back half of the NBA Draft...meaning he would need a lottery commitment to beat UNCs offer. Maryland's On3 guy said Avdalas was asking 3 million. Never heard of the guy and dont know if he can be trusted, but I obviously trust someone who directly made the offer to Avdalas ** Edited by GCHokie34 at 4/17/2026, 3:36:05 AM

In the NBA, if you are not quick you better be a great shooter.
