Early life

Prior to college, Hammink spent a year at the Canarias Basketball Academy, where he honed his basketball skills. [1]

Hammink originally committed to LSU, where his father had played center from 1989 to 1993. He played sporadically off the bench for the Tigers, scoring 74 points and recording 64 rebounds in 47 games over two seasons. Following the 2013–14 season, Hammink decided to transfer along with two other Tigers (Anthony Hickey and Malik Morgan). Hammink ultimately chose to play for coach Bryce Drew at Valparaiso. [2]

Hammink sat out the 2014–15 season due to National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) transfer eligibility rules, then joined the Crusaders for the 2015–16 campaign.
