Professional career

After graduating from Fort Lewis, Lansdowne had decided to try to play professional basketball, but the agency he had signed with did not receive calls about possible contracts for him, and he decided to continue his studies and he also started working as a bricklayer and laborer. After four years away from competitive basketball, Lansdowne received an offer from Pioneros de Delicias, a Mexican team playing in the Chihuahua State league (Liga de Básquetbol Estatal de Chihuahua, or LBE). Thanks to a YouTube video showing his highlights, Lansdowne was contacted by Hertener Löwen, a team of the city of Herten in Germany. Lansdowne played his first season in Europe in the ProB, the third tier of German basketball. In that season he scored a career-high 46 points on December 12, 2015, against EN Baskets Schwelm, and also had a 20-rebound game on March 19, 2016, again when playing EN Baskets Schwelm.

His performances with Hertener Löwen attracted the interest of Hamburg Towers, which signed Lansdowne for the 2016–17 ProA season: Lansdowne therefore moved up one level, to the second tier of basketball in Germany. He played 27 games (24 starts) with the new club, and averaged 12.3 points, 5 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.3 steals per game in 28.1 minutes of average playing time.

His performance during the season earned him a spot in the All-BBL Second Team.

On June 27, 2019, Lansdowne signed a contract with Italian Lega Basket Serie A team Basket Brescia Leonessa, coached by former NBA player Vincenzo Esposito. Lansdowne played 21 games in the 2019–20 LBA season, averaging 13.3 points, 3 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 27 minutes per game; he also had the chance to make his debut at international club level, and played 16 games in the 2019–20 EuroCup Basketball, where he averaged 10.2 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.3 assists.
