Remains in NBA Draft LaRavia will keep his name in the NBA Draft pool, Jeff Goodman of Stadium reports.

Impact LaRavia initially maintained his college eligibility after declaring for the NBA draft in March. The 6-foot-8 forward led the Demon Deacons with 6.6 rebounds and 1.7 steals per game last season.

21-point outing not enough LaRavia recorded 21 points (9-13 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-5 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, three blocks and four steals over 43 minutes during Wednesday's 82-77 overtime loss to Boston C...

Impact LaRavia was one of Wake Forest's best scorers all season long, and he ended the campaign on a strong note with 15 or more points in five of his last six contests. He ends his first year with the program averaging a career-high 15.1 points per game.

MARCH 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Delivers double-double LaRavia registered 19 points (7-12 FG, 4-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 37 minutes during Tuesday's 76-74 loss to Duke.

Impact LaRavia now has four double-doubles over his last eight appearances, but more importantly, he bounced back from two subpar outings in which he couldn't reach the 10-point mark. He's averaging 13.6 points, 8.4 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game over his first five appearances in February.

Impact LaRavia now has two performances of nine assists in ACC play, and Saturday marked his third double-double in the same span. The Indiana State transfer wasn't necessarily on the fantasy radar entering this season, but he's improved in all major categories despite the step up in competition, including a career-best 59.1 percent shooting. He's a possible league-winning pick if you bought stock early enough.

Strong double-double in win LaRavia closed Saturday's 98-76 victory over North Carolina with 31 points (9-13 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 12-15 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists, one block and three steals over 37 minutes.

Impact Wake Forest pulled the upset with this win over the Tar Heels and LaRavia was one of the team's best players, alongside Alondes Williams, in this contest. He's scored in double digits in every Wake Forest game this month, and he's firmly entrenched as one of the best scoring threats for the Demon Deacons this season.
