Ty Lawson the Next Great Point Guard?

Basketball News & NBA Rumors

Given a choice between Ty Lawson of the Nuggets and Oklahoma City’s Russell Westbrook, you could bet 29 of 30 general managers would pick the point guard stealing shots from Kevin Durant at the NBA Finals.

They would be wrong.

Lawson is going to be the biggest thing under 6 feet tall in this league.

Westbrook has a great future as a coach killer.

Denver was eliminated from the playoffs by the Los Angeles Lakers, but in the process, a star was born. During the last two games of the series, Lawson averaged 28 points, six assists and five rebounds, prompting Lakers coach Mike Brown to say: “You’re not going to stop Ty Lawson.”
