Former Virginia Tech forward Keve Aluma went undrafted in the 2022 NBA draft Thursday but quickly found a home Friday, agreeing to a free-agent deal with the Memphis Grizzlies.
The 6-foot-9 Aluma began his career at Wofford under current Virginia Tech head coach Mike Young. When Young accepted the Virginia Tech coaching position, Aluma followed, sitting out the 2019-20 season due to NCAA transfer rules.
In his first year playing for the Hokies, Aluma played 22 games in the COVID-wrecked 2020-21 season, averaging 15.2 points and 7.9 rebounds per game. He was named first-team All-ACC after the season.
