He last played for the Hapee Fresh Fighters and was part of the Gilas Pilipinas training pool.
Professional career
Lañete was supposed to apply for the 2014 PBA draft but he decided to forgo the draft as he intended to train more and improve some of his weaknesses.[3] After spending another year as a Gilas Cadet in the D-League, he applied for the 2015 Rookie draft, based on the list released by the PBA on August 10, 2015.[4] He was drafted sixth overall by the NLEX Road Warriors in the 2015 PBA draft.
