Clark and Thomas Woldetensae are Virginia’s best returning perimeter shooting options but both could be of more value if their perimeter shooting improved. Clark is a pesky undersized point guard and the team’s top returning scorer. Kihei Clark will be important as he sets the tone on both sides of the court. Huff will return with five players who all averaged more than 20 minutes a game. Huff is a solid offensive threat for Virginia who can score with his back to the basket and step out and knock down a 3-point basket when needed. Virginia received good news when Jay Huff decided to return back to school and withdraw from the NBA draft. The ending of last season showed that Virginia can be National title contenders once again. Tony Bennett and Virginia however put things back together and Virginia finished the season winning their last eight games and 12 of its final 15. Virginia had a rough start to the season in 2019-2020 and looked at times as if the defending National wouldn’t be making the NCAA tournament.
