Michigan 7-footers Vlad Goldin, Hunter Dickinson sign in NBA as undrafted free agents image

Michigan didn't have big guys Vladislav Goldin and Hunter Dickinson around at the same time.

But they both made their impact in the paint for the Wolverines.

Goldin did his thing as a transfer to Michigan, from Florida Atlantic.

Dickinson started at Michigan before ending up at Kansas.

Regardless of the path, though, both are heading to the NBA.

Neither was chosen in the 59-pick NBA Draft, but they both signed quickly afterward as undrafted free agents.

ESPN's Shams Charania reported that Goldin is going to the Miami Heat, while Dickinson goes to the Pelicans.

Both are on two-way deals, which means they get to spend a certain amount of time in the NBA while spending a majority of their seasons in the G League.

Goldin is more of a classic big man with rim protection, while Dickinson has some skill and very briefly began to develop an outside shot with the Jayhawks.

You can't teach height, so don't be surprised if one or both of these former Wolverines put together solid NBA careers.
