“Vanderbilt provides me with an excellent education and an opportunity to play in the SEC,” Lang said to On3. “Coach Stackhouse runs his team similar to the NBA with all of the resources necessary to develop as a player. I also fit well into their system that utilizes two bigs and will allow me to make decisions with the ball.”
