Volnaya’s Virginia-era game: efficient scoring, elite shot selection, and a veteran forward’s punch
In the 2000-01 season, Svetlana Volnaya was a polished Virginia forward who gave the Cavaliers a reliable scoring jolt, finishing at 12.6 points per game while leading the ACC in three-point percentage at 45.0% and adding 1.6 assists per game. She wasn’t just a shooter—she brought veteran poise, could score inside or out, and had enough defensive activity to chip in 0.7 steals per game. The fit? A forward who spaces the floor, makes smart decisions, and gives you efficient offense with low-drama consistency.
