Because teams undervalue Clemson players
Viktor Lahkin is a certified rim protector
Chase Hunter is a certified scorer
It’s a shame. Glad Chase was signed. But I don’t know if Lahkin will even be signed right now.

Don't think he has NBA level athleticism. Chase may. If he proves he can hit jumpers, he has a longshot

It has nothing to do with where they went to school.

Nah, you're right. Has nothing to do with that. There's a lot of good bball players out there. You have to be special. Nothing against the players, they did good at Clemson. Just don't have nba talent. Few do. I don't think of Viktor being Clemson anyway.

The reason Lakhin didn't get drafted or hisigned with anyone before summer league play is because he got hurt right before the G-League Camp and probably invite to the Combine. He was awesome at the Portsmouth tournament.
He is probably trying to sign a two way contract but some teams want to wait before his injury heals before they sign him.
Chase was undervalued because of his older age but was very valued by a lot of evaluaters. See links:

We are talking for the NBA. He doesn't shoot enough and that's not considered his strength. He was 178th in college basketball in 3pt'ers made. We are talking to make the first 2 rounds of the NBA draft competing against the world for those 2 rounds.

right, they were not drafted because they went to Clemson, or maybe GM's whose multi-million dollar salaries are in the line decided to draft better players so they can keep their jobs, instead of taking a risk on an undersized guard and a center who would struggle with he speed and athleticism of the NBA.

I think Lahkin will get the same opportunity as soon as he's healthy.

They'll have long careers in Europe if they stay healthy and will most likely make more money there than bouncing around the G league.
