COLLEGE

Greg Lazard’s college basketball path is only partially documented in surviving public records, but available contemporary and professional sources provide several pieces of his pre-professional history.

Lazard played high school basketball at Crowley High School in Louisiana, where he developed into a 6-foot-7 forward who attracted major-college recruiting attention alongside teammate Jerome Batiste.

In 1982, Lazard was recruited by programs including LSU and UTEP before being listed among Mississippi State’s incoming recruits, with contemporary reporting noting that both Lazard and Batiste followed coach John Brady to Mississippi State but did not remain with the program.

Later junior-college newspaper coverage records Lazard playing for Odessa College, where at one stage he was averaging 18.3 points per game and leading the Western Junior College Athletic Conference with 13.2 rebounds per game and 83 blocked shots.

That Odessa stretch included a 29-point performance against Howard College, while another game report credited Lazard with 21 points as he continued to provide Odessa with interior scoring and rim protection.

A later 1991–92 Sioux Falls Skyforce roster lists Lazard’s college as Wingate, providing the strongest surviving professional-record link between Lazard and Wingate before his professional career.

The exact dates, games played and season-by-season statistics from Lazard’s time at Wingate could not be verified from the available records, so no unsupported college totals have been added.

Lazard later played professionally in Australia with the Newcastle Falcons during the 1990 NBL season before joining Peñarol de Mar del Plata in Argentina, and his documented professional profile lists him as a 6-foot-8 forward.
