Opinions on Lawson are mixed. He is expected to go anywhere from the 2nd half of the lotto to the end of the 1st round. He came averaging 15.2 points, 2.7 rebounds and 6.6 assists a game.
What he did well:
- Push and control the tempo.
- Score. Lawson got into the lane repeatedly and was able to finish at the rim and with creative shots in the key. He was also 2 of 3 on midrange jumpers.
What he didn’t do well:
- Make decisions. He was out of control at times and made some questionable passes. He ended up with 4 turnovers against 5 assists.
- Shoot from distance. He missed badly on his only 3 point attempt.
The Verdict: He is going to be underrated and underdrafted and will end up being a plus starter.
