The Nuggets actually made the 2009 NBA draft somewhat interesting. Swapping the rights to Charlotte's first-round pick, the Nuggets acquired the 18th pick from Minnesota — University of North Carolina point guard Ty Lawson.G Ty Lawson, 5-11, 193 lb.
Pros: Lightning quick and super safe with the ball. Developed a solid outside shot last year, increasing his 3FG% to 47.2% from 36.1% the year before. Had a 3.5-to-1 assists-to-turnover ratio last year. High basketball IQ.
Cons: Undersized.
I compare Lawson to someone like Jameer Nelson. A little small but incredibly smart and safe with the ball. Plus his ability to push the tempo is going to make the Nuggets very fun to watch.
He's an obvious improvement over Anthony Carter and Jason Hart.
