Coming off bench Monday Maddox is not in the Hokies' starting lineup ahead of Monday's game versus Duke, he reports.

Goes for 12 points Thursday Maddox recorded 12 points (4-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and two assists over 34 minutes during Thursday's 75-71 win over Old Dominion.

Impact Maddox has been extremely consistent as a scorer to begin the season and has surpassed the 10-point mark in three of his first four contests. Virginia Tech head coach Mike Young said Maddox can average "more than 10 points per game" and he's living up to that so far, as he's putting up 12.0 points per contest through his first fur appearances in what has been his first year as a starter with the program.

NOVEMBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Scoring breakout incoming Virginia Tech head coach Mike Young said Thursday that he believes Maddox can average "more than 10 points per game" this season, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Maddox only averaged 6.4 points and 1.9 rebounds in 16.9 minutes across 36 games in 2021-22. However, he didn't start in any of those games, while he is in line to start at small forward this season. Maddox averaged 9.3 points per game over the final nine games last season. Considering his 51.3 field-goal percentage and 50.6 three-point percentage last season, combined with his increased role, a scoring breakout seems inevitable for the 6-foot-5 junior.

OCTOBER 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Scores season-high 20 points Maddox supplied 20 points (7-12 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT) and six rebounds over 29 minutes during Friday's 72-59 win over North Carolina.

Impact Maddox recorded a season-best scoring output right when his team needed him the most, and the Hokies pulled a gigantic upset by eliminating the Tar Heels -- and avoiding a UNC vs. Duke matchup in the ACC Tournament decisive game. Maddox has struggled with consistency at times, though that's to be expected considering he's played off the bench all season long. That said, it's worth noting he has scored in double digits in four of his last seven contests.
