4:46 pm: The Pistons have signed their second-round pick, guard Chaz Lanier , according to a team press release .
Lanier was chosen with the 37th overall pick. Detroit didn’t have a first-round selection.
While terms have yet to be revealed, Lanier will join the 15-man roster, according to Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press . That means he signed a standard contract, rather than a two-way deal.
Lanier averaged 18.0 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.1 assists per contest while shooting 43.1% from the field and 39.5% from three-point range across 38 games for Tennessee last season. Named the 2024/25 Jerry West Award winner, given annually to the nation’s best shooting guard, Lanier finished his five-year collegiate career shooting 40.2% on three-pointers after playing his first four seasons for the University of North Florida.
Lanier is set to compete for the Pistons on their Summer League team in Las Vegas.
