Help an old man from basketball gurus.. Vicktor Lahtkin (sp)

I think thats how its spelled. I have not watched 2 seconds of an NBA game in forever. I only catch Clemson basketball and usually the ytube 18 min highlights. But I have noticed that our Russian player is a baller.
Does he have the tools to play in NBA? I know PJ Hall is floating around NBA G-league and can Victor do as well or better?
Watched a lot of FSU/CU game today and talking heads said that the average age of Clemson players was 23 YO. Some gotta be older. Just curious about Victkor since I like his play (as well as whole team)
Go Tigers....

Yes, Corey Alexander said during UNC win Monday that he said he is on NBA scouts radar of maybe getting drafted.

I doubt his skills will transfer to the nba if this was 1900s he would be an excellent big in the league but now everyone his size can move like a guard and can make every shot he plays good interior defense and he can score down low and hit an occasional 3 but I think his lack of athleticism will be the reason he wouldn’t make it in the league

I don't know the ages of any of BBall players, but I swear Zackery looks every bit of 28-29 years old...

I don’t think so. Think of him like Tajh Boyd. One heck of a college baller but probably just under the cut line for pro ball in the USA.
Here is a link for all former players who play pro ball:

FYI, I am not an expert and my last year of organized ball was at the Belton Rec league in ~ 1974 so take my comments with a grade of slaw

Maybe, but I think that the talking heads hurt Tajh's chances before he ever had a chance, just my opinion...

They certainly did not help his cause but Tajh, who I hold in high regard, had happy feet under pressure.

Next year will be a rebuilding year IMO. We have a nice class coming in and a nice class from this year but lose a ton of experience. We will need 2-3 guys from the portal to keep things going

I'm very much enjoying this season and will continue to do so, but looking to next year I think it may or may not be a "re-building" year depending on a few things:
- Dillon Hunter and Chauncey come back for their senior seasons.
- Del Jones sticks around.
- We can get a transfer big man similar to Lahkin (don't know if that is available or not).
From a guard standpoint, Dillon and Del will be a heck of a 2 guard combo. Dillon can run the point and Del can be more of a scorer, or vice versa. I've been impressed with Del this year, although he does have his share of freshman mistakes. Dillon has taken it to another level the last half of this year and may be our best player next season.
Chauncey, who knows, but he will be a good offensive asset with experience at least. He's one I worry about transferring, just not sure he jives with Brownell as much as others and he may be sticking around with Ian since they were team mates in high school.
Size will definitely be the issue, hopefully Reeves can be a 15-20 minutes a game kind of player. Heidbreder and Asa Thomas are capable players and will play a role. I know nothing about Dallas Thomas. We have one 6-10 freshman incoming, no clue of his capability. So definitely will need a transfer to play down low with some experience.
