Benjamin William Lammers (born November 12, 1995) is an American professional basketball player who last played for MoraBanc Andorra of the Spanish Liga ACB. He played college basketball for the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.
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]
