Best Virginia Adds Final Piece to the Roster

Best Virginia finalizes roster with former WVU Tech guard Tamon Scruggs

On Wednesday, the Final Fourcast announced guard Tamon Scruggs will join Best Virginia for the final roster spot ahead of TBT this weekend.

“Tamon is one of the best scorers I have been around," said Head Coach James Long. "He was one of the best players in the country for us at WVU Tech. He is going to help us prepare and will be ready to contribute if his number is called in TBT. This is going to be a great opportunity for Tamon to be a part of this process."

Scruggs (6-foot-4, 220-pounds) is coming off his senior season for the Golden Bears, averaging 18.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.5 steals per game. The South Charleston native helped lead WVU Tech to an NAIA National Championship appearance this past season. Scruggs graduated from South Charleston High School in 2017. Scruggs earned first team All-Kanawha Valley and second team all-state accolades while in high school.
