Chaz Lanier is set to workout with the Detroit Pistons on Monday

The Tennessee Volunteers had a successful season with their star guard, Chaz Lanier. Lanier finished his career at Tennessee, as he played with North Florida for four seasons.

Lanier quickly became one of the best players in the country after he finished the season with an average of 18 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 1.1 assists. The standout guard also shot 43/40/76 splits from the field.

Lanier is expected to be drafted in the NBA Draft, or at least picked up after some great workouts and a great combine so far. Recently, a new team emerged as a possibility, as they are hosting him for a workout. That team is the Detroit Pistons. The Pistons have pick 37 as their lone selection in the NBA Draft.

The Pistons have a predraft workout with Tennessee wing Chaz Lanier scheduled for tomorrow (June 2), per a source.

Lanier earned the Jerry West award as a senior last season after averaging 18 points per game on 39.5% shooting from 3, on 8.2 attempts.

Lanier could possibly be selected at 37 by the Pistons if things go well, as he has started to rise up draft boards, and has solidified himself as one of the better shooters in the draft class.
