Viktor Lakhin, a former big man for the Cincinnati Bearcats, spent three seasons in Cincinnati from 2021-2023. He averaged 11.6 points, 7.1 rebounds, 1.2 steals, and 1.4 blocks in 2022, his best season as a Bearcat.
Lakhin had a rough year in 2023, really struggling in conference play for the Bearcats. Lakhin didn't see the floor much at all to end the season and entered the transfer portal at the conclusion of the year.
Lakhin bounced back to average 11.4 points, 6.4 points, 1.5 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.5 blocks last season for the Clemson Tigers, helping them go to the NCAA tournament.
Lakhin missed out on being drafted despite being on many analysts' top 60 big boards for the NBA Draft. Lakhin signed a deal to join the Oklahoma City Thunder Summer League team to try and earn a roster spot or a G-League spot.
