Greek wing Neoklis Avdalas has withdrawn as an Early Entry Candidate from the 2025 NBA Draft. Avdalas impressed throughout the draft process and will enter the 2026 draft cycle as a prospect to monitor for NBA teams.
The 19-year-old wing played for Peristeri BC last season in Greece. Avdalas averaged 7.7 points and 2.7 rebounds per game. The 6-foot-8 guard/forward shot 44% from the field, including 36% on 2.7 three-point attempts per game.
Avdalas was ranked 51st on ESPN's Top 100 prospects for the 2025 NBA Draft. That had Avdalas in the range to be drafted in the middle to end of the second round.
Players had until 5 PM ET on Sunday to withdraw from the draft as Early Entry Candidates. This deadline pertained mostly to international players, as the NCAA required players to withdraw last month in order to maintain college eligibility.
