A 6 ft 7 in (2.01 m) power forward, Lang had a lauded collegiate career at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte between 1990–91 and 1994–95 prior to playing professionally overseas.
He was known as a rugged player who was difficult to contain in the low post offensively while providing a stiff challenge defensively.
Lang's sophomore season, however, saw him go down in just the second game with an injury, forcing him to medical redshirt to sit out the entire year.
Lang did not get taken in the 1995 NBA draft but he did carve out a professional career overseas, including stints in Italy and Switzerland.
Today he resides in the Charlotte, North Carolina area, working non-basketball related jobs.
