Lammers came to Georgia Tech from Alamo Heights High School in San Antonio, Texas, earning All-State honors in each of his last three seasons. He chose the Yellow Jackets over Texas A&M, Miami, Marquette and Stanford. [1] Lammers chose Georgia Tech in part for its excellence in mechanical engineering. [2] On the court, Lammers' basketball career started slowly. He was a reserve for his first two college seasons. But as a junior, under new Georgia Tech coach Josh Pastner, he became one of the most improved players of the 2016–17 season. [3] After averaging 14.2 points, 9.2 rebounds and 3.2 blocks per game, Lammers was named second-team All-Atlantic Coast Conference and the ACC Defensive Player of the Year in 2017. [4] Lammers' improved play and stellar defense were primary reasons that the Yellow Jackets performed above preseason expectations, making it to the championship game of the 2017 National Invitation Tournament. [5]

Professional career

Lammers attended the minicamp with the Charlotte Hornets but was cut prior to Summer League play. [6] On August 22, 2018, Lammers signed with RETAbet Bilbao Basket of the LEB Oro. [7] In his first season in Spain, Lammers averaged 10.1 points, 6.6 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per game in LEB Oro, helping team to a second place finish and promotion to Liga ACB. Lammers averaged 7.8 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game during the 2019–20 season in Liga ACB.
