and all front row have big aircraft carriers.
Avdalas has some sizable guns, larger than i expected for a wing/guard.

This is one of the worst team photos I have ever seen. Embarrassing for the players, and patronizing to the staff. The participation trophy kids are all grown up.

This would be akin to a college football team picture having over 200 staff. And you can look at college football team photos and see they usually have around 50-75 staff members. Alabama's 2020 natl champ team photo includes 65 staff members for 115 players. This VT team picture is ridiculous.

I dont know for certain, but some are also likely student managers
Extrapolating this to football is a false equivalency...it would be like seeing a picture of a tutor with one student and saying "this would be like if a college course had 300 professors"
No...of course it wouldn't be like that, it just doesn't scale up that way

a player, except Pelinka. Support people go behind the team, never in front.

and I think most agree when they think of a basketball team, they think of the players and 3 - 5 coaches and a couple managers, and a trainer. I know bureaucracy at any entity that receives a dime of taxpayer money has explode to absurd amounts, and this photo is a perfect example of how we have grown the bureaucracy around colleges and college sports so much, that the actual players seem like a complete afterthought. Even NBA teams that are worth billions don't have 26 staff members in the team photos.
