Shooting is the single most coveted skill in the NBA, and the Nets on Thursday worked out the top shooter in the upcoming draft.At least, that’s how the confident Chaz Lanier views himself.“I believe I’m the best shooter in the draft,” Lanier told The Post.“But [also] a competitor, a winner, somebody who wants to win and is going to bring the best effort to the team.“I feel like I have a proven track record, and I bring maturity and experience onto any team who drafts me.

Lanier met several Nets players and personnel.“I pretty much got to meet everybody, from the head coach Jordi Fernández to the assistant GM, the GM,” Lanier said.“The whole front office was there and the coaching staff, so it was ...
