Ex-Michigan Star Vladislav Goldin Gets NBA Prediction From ESPN Draft Analyst
The Michigan Wolverines won the Big Ten Tournament Championship this past season in Indianapolis before heading to the NCAA Tournament, where they put a first-half scare into the top overall seeded Auburn Tigers before falling in the Sweet 16. The Wolverines and their coach Dusty May are expected to move on without many of their top players from last year's team including Florida Atlantic transfer and Russian center Vladislav Goldin, who has been working out after hearing word of his invite to the 2025 NBA Draft Combine. Advertisement Goldin is one of two former Wolverines and one possible future Wolverine, along with Danny Wolf and Yaxel Lendeborg, formerly of the UAB Blazers, to receive a combine invite. On Tuesday, Goldin's NBA future got a prediction as the NBA Playoffs continued into the second round of action with the NBA Draft Lottery looming on Monday, May 12, 2025.

"The 7'1 Russian center has a tremendous frame, size, and length, more athleticism than you might expect, and even flashes some touch from the perimeter. "He will very likely be on an NBA roster next year in some capacity." Goldin helped lead the Florida Atlantic Owls to the Final Four in 2023 alongside May at his previous coaching stop. Advertisement The Nalchick, Russia native Goldin averaged a career-best 16.6 points with the Wolverines last season while also posting a career high in rebounds with seven per game. He has a strong frame and solid athleticism and is a deft finisher around the basket, although questions surrounded his ability to guard perimeter players with the Wolverines at times.

It's real and it's spectacular: Florida Atlantic Owls hosting 'Seinfeld Night'
The Florida Atlantic Owls are flying high, as they enter their Thursday night matchup against the Wichita State Shockers on a five-game winning streak. On top of it all, the Owls will battle their AAC foes against the backdrop of "Seinfeld Night." Throughout "Seinfield Night," which is based on the hit TV sitcom "Seinfeld," fans can get their picture and a signature from Cosmo Kramer, Jerry Seinfeld's neighbor, and a PEZ dispenser with Kramer's face on the end of it — which hopefully won't make anybody laugh when a Florida Atlantic player is at the free throw line. Eleanor R. Baldwin Arena, the Owls' home arena, will be renamed "Del Boca Vista," which is the Florida retirement complex that Jerry's parents lived in and where the Costanza's infamously moved into to spite the Seinfelds, for the night. Following an upset win over the Arizona Wildcats last season on Dec. 23, otherwise known as "Festivus" — an alternative holiday invented by Frank Costanza which involves explaining to your family members all the ways they've disappointed you over the past year — FAU's X account embraced the Festivus spirit by making several posts on the timeless Seinfeld episode and wishing the Wildcats a "Happy Festivus" after beating them. The Owls are 15-10 overall and 8-4 in conference play this season, good for fifth in the AAC under first-year head coach John Jakus, who replaced Dusty May, now the head coach of the No. 12 Michigan Wolverines. Juniors Baba Miller (11.0 points, 7.0 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game) and Tre Carroll (12.2 points per game) and sophomore Kaleb Glenn (team-high 12.8 points per game) have primarily led the way for FAU this season. It's unknown whether Frank and Estelle Costanza will make an appearance to ruffle feathers. Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?
