Georgia Tech’s shot-blocking anchor with elite rim protection
In the 2017 season, Ben Lammers was one of the ACC’s premier interior defenders, winning ACC Defensive Player of the Year after averaging 14.2 points, 9.2 rebounds, and 3.2 blocks per game for Georgia Tech; across his Yellow Jackets career, he was a high-efficiency finisher (71% shooting) and a relentless paint deterrent. Why care? He’s the kind of center who changes game plans with length, timing, and toughness—not flashy volume—making him a strong fit for teams needing defense-first rim protection and dependable low-post production.
