Tobi Lawal Joins Mavericks | Hokie Basketball News

Tobi Lawal, the Virginia Tech forward, is officially headed to the NBA after being drafted by the Dallas Mavericks in the second round — a comeback from last year’s draft withdrawal and a recent injury. He’s joining a roster that also includes Amari Williams and Quinn Ellis, who’s heading to St. John’s under Rick Pitino. Lawal, who previously played for VCU and now represents Great Britain internationally, averaged 12.3 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks in his senior season. With his blend of NCAA grit, EuroLeague exposure, and international experience, Lawal is poised to make his mark in the pros — and the Mavericks’ season kicks off with a big international slate.
