2024 Fantasy Outlook
After four seasons at North Florida, Lanier transferred to Tennessee for his final collegiate campaign. He was an elite scorer, averaging 18.0 points per game, and did most of his damage from deep, shooting 39.5 percent on 8.2 three-point attempts a night. The Pistons selected Lanier with the No. 37 pick, and the rookie sharpshooter could carve out a role if he's lighting it up during training camp. Detroit lost Malik Beasley, Dennis Schroder and Tim Hardaway this offseason and replaced them with Caris LeVert and Duncan Robinson. Jaden Ivey is also expected to be healthy and will likely reclaim a starting backcourt spot opposite Cade Cunningham. Marcus Sasser and Ronald Holland could also take steps forward. Lanier will be blocked on the depth chart to start his career, but he should be on fantasy radars, especially in dynasty leagues. Read Past Outlooks

Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

After attending The Ensworth School in Nashville, Tennessee, Chaz Lanier committed to the University of North Florida. His 2020-21 season counted as a redshirt, and he didn't begin making waves until his 2022-23 sophomore season, when he was named Atlantic Sun Player of the Week. Still, Lanier didn't become a full-time starter until his fourth year at North Florida. Then, he averaged 19.7 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 33.3 minutes, notably being named Atlantic Sun First Team All-Conference. For his 2024-25 campaign, he transferred to Tennessee, where he started and averaged 18.0 points on 43/40/76 shooting, 3.9 rebounds and 1.1 assists. Lanier was given the Jerry West (Best SG) Award, was All-SEC First Team and All-American Honorable Mention. Defenders have to get in Lanier's jersey to prevent him from shooting 3s. More than half his shots came from deep across his entire collegiate career, notably going 256-for-621 (41.2%) during his final three years. He's not afraid to fire away on the move, flying off screens and launching up shots before his defender can turn the corner. The mid-range is in his arsenal as well, with some upside as a mid-post player against smaller opponents. He picks and chooses his spots when attacking the basket and can occasionally rise over a defender for a dunk. Defensively, Lanier is solid. He can guard a bit up and down relative to his size but isn't known as a switch defender. Lanier fits the mold of smaller wing shooters in the modern NBA, such as Gary Trent Jr., Malik Beasley, Tim Hardaway Jr. and Isaiah Joe. Plenty of teams will have interest in the draft, even if Lanier's defense is behind his offense in terms of development. Most likely, Lanier will begin his professional career off the bench but has upside for his role to grow if either his offense or defense develops more.

Garbage-time appearance
GDetroit Pistons
December 6, 2025
Lanier chipped in zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one steal across four minutes during Saturday's 124-112 win over the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Lanier saw the court for the first time in the past eight games, logging four minutes, all of which came during garbage time. He has been in and out of the rotation thus far this season, with his playing time typically dependent on the health of others. Given he can't be trusted to play consistent minutes, there is no reason to consider him outside of very deep fantasy leagues.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Aiming to contribute right away
GDetroit Pistons
July 11, 2025
Lanier said he believes he's capable of "immediately" playing a role for the Pistons as a rookie, Coty Davis of The Detroit News reports.
ANALYSIS
"Coming in to do whatever they need me to do," Lanier said. "Coming in and making shots when I need to. I am a shooter first, that is what I hang my hat on; putting the ball in the basket. However, I believe that at the NBA level, you need to be able to make an impact on defense. That is how I plan on making my mark." Selected by the Pistons with the No. 37 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, Lanier is coming off a standout campaign at Tennessee in which he compiled averages of 18.0 points and 3.9 rebounds while shooting 43.1 percent from the field and 39.5 percent from three over 38 games.
