He comes from UNICS Kazan, where last season Lasme was one of the best players in the 7DAYS EuroCup with 14.6 points, 6.4 rebounds and a competition record 2.5 blocks per game over 19 appearances. He has also played for Partizan Belgrade, Maccabi Tel Aviv Anadolu Efes and Galatasaray Istanbul, with which he won the 2016 EuroCup title, was named Finals MVP and to the 2016 All-EuroCup Second Team.
