Career

Lane went to high school in California Rocklin to study at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), where he was a scholarship for the basketball team Bruins received, the champions of the NCAA Division I Basketball Championship . From 2009 Lane played for the Bruins in the then Pacific-10 Conference (Pac-10; later Pac-12) of the NCAA, which the Bruins had won three times in a row from 2006 to 2008 and then reached the national Final Four . In Lane's playing time with the Bruins it was not enough for any further successes. After they had missed the national NCAA finals in 2010, reaching Lane in a team with, among others, Tyler Honeycutt , Malcolm Lee at least the favorite and the twins David and Travis Wear, 2011, the second round in the NCAA finals, where one Florida Gators defeated . A year later, the Bruins again missed participation in the national NCAA finals. Lane then left " Walk-on " Alex Schrempf, a son of the first German NBA All-Star Detlef Schrempf , like a year earlier , after having played fewer minutes than the previous season at UCLA to continue playing in another university team. In a period from 2008 to 2012 Lane was the eleventh player to leave UCLA prematurely, which was attributed to the team's poor cohesion, which was triggered, among other things, by the behavior of Reeves Nelson and the inactivity of coach Ben Howland. Lane moved from the UCLA campus in Westwood to Pepperdine University in Malibu , where he initially served a year as "redshirted" before ending his NCAA career in the 2013-14 season with the Waves in the West Coast Conference (WCC) . Although Lane had significantly increased his individual statistics with the Waves compared to the Bruins and achieved an average of 13 points, seven rebounds and more than two shot blocks per game, he could not compete with these performances in the WCC, which was rated weaker than the Pac-12 at the end of the study Recommend more for a professional engagement in the NBA .

After auditioning for the Sacramento Kings in the 2014 NBA Summer League, Lane signed his first long-term professional contract with the Mitsubishi Diamond Dolphins from Nagoya , Japan , who played in the short-lived National Basketball League of Japan, the successor to the Japan Basketball League . After a year in which Lane achieved similar individual stats for the Diamond Dolphins in Japan's NBL as for the Waves in the WCC, he moved from Japan to the German basketball league, where he took on the first division returnee s.Oliver Baskets Würzburg followed. When they returned to the top German league, the s.Oliver Baskets immediately made it into the top eight teams in the play-offs for the German championship in the 2015/16 basketball Bundesliga . In the first round of the play-offs, however, they remained without a win against their Franconian rivals and defending champions Brose Baskets .
