The 2025 NBA draft will be held Wednesday-Thursday at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, home of the Nets.
The draft will be televised at 8 p.m. EDT by ESPN with the first round taking place Wednesday and the second round slated for Thursday. The first round will also be televised by ABC.
Tennessee guard Chaz Lanier is projected as a second round pick. ESPN projects the former Vol to be selected No. 38 overall by the San Antonio.
He played for the Vols during the 2024-25 season under head coach Rick Barnes, after transferring from North Florida. Lanier holds Tennessee’s program record for three-point field goals made during a single season (123). He eclipsed Chris Lofton’s record of 118 set during the 2007-08 season.
He averaged 18.0 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game for Tennessee, helping the Vols reach the NCAA Tournament Elite Eight for the third time in school history. Lanier was a Second-Team All-SEC selection and was named SEC Newcomer and the Year. He was also a finalist for the John R. Wooden Award and earned Third-Team All-America honors from NABC and The Sporting News.
