Ben Hammond is Virginia Tech’s pesky two-way engine
In the 2025-26 season, Virginia Tech guard Ben Hammond emerged as a high-motor, impact guard, finishing around 13 points per game with strong efficiency from three and a steady assist-and-steal profile. His best calling cards are toughness, pace pressure, and the ability to swing games in loud moments — he scored a career-high 30 in the 2025-26 triple-overtime win over No. 21 Virginia, and he was trusted heavily in close ACC games. At 5-foot-11, he brings compact, scrappy guard play, high intensity, and winning energy rather than size, which makes him a fit for teams that value relentless competitiveness and secondary creation.
