Detroit Pistons in NBA Summer League on Sunday blew out the Houston Rockets, 98-83. Rookie Chaz Lanier stood out and Ron Holland drained two more 3s.

Despite being a second-round pick, Chaz Lanier believes he has the intangibles to make an immediate impact on the Detroit Pistons.

Lanier chipped in 11 points (4-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt), one rebound and one assist across 16 minutes in Saturday's 96-84 Summer League loss to the Spurs.

The vibes have been positive for Detroit Pistons rookie wing Chaz Lanier since he was drafted in the second round of the 2025 NBA Draft.

Lanier ranked 15th in the country in points (684) and fourth in 3-pointers, setting the program record for a single season (123). He finished in double figures 36 times with the Volunteers, becoming the third player in the SEC over the last 20 years to accomplish that feat.

The Detroit Pistons' second-round selection of Chaz Lanier on June 26, could be viewed as insurance, four days before NBA free agency begins.
