The Tennessee Volunteers‘ chances in March Madness hinge partly to the production of touted scoring guard Chaz Lanier. Teams are already taking notice of Lanier ahead of the NBAdraft.
The latest NBA mock draft projections largely have Lanier as a second-round pick. Yet, a strong March Madness performance could have Lanier emerge as part of the first-round conversation.
Heading into the SEC title game, Lanier is averaging 17.9 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1 assist per game while shooting 40.4% from long range in 33 starts.
