Greek forward Neoklis Avdalas is withdrawing from the 2025 NBA draft, agent Alex Saratsis tells ESPN’s Jonathan Givony (Twitter link).
The 6’8″ 19-year-old wing was the 51st-ranked prospect on ESPN’s top-100 board and will look to build off a strong pre-draft process going into the 2026 draft.
Avdalas played this season for the Greek team Peristeri, averaging 8.8 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 1.3 assists in 19.2 minutes per game while shooting 40.7% from three-point range. He’s a career 35.5% three-point shooter over the last four years of Greek Basket League and EuroLeague play.
International players had until 5:00 pm Eastern time on Sunday to pull their names out of this year’s draft, while May 28 was the deadline for college players to withdraw and keep their NCAA eligibility.
In another smart move Lefty withdraws from all Professional Sports
Worth a late first now in my opinion.
