Ty Lawson

People want to talk about the neck baby, and it's a funny era of Nuggets basketball.

The Gallo, Wilson Chandler, Ty Lawson, JaVale McGee, Kenneth Farid Nuggets teams.

Andre Iguodala was here for a moment.

They weren't a real, legitimate, dangerous team.

Terrence Brown fits into the equation in a way that I think he's probably going to take an undue burden of criticism and for no fault of his own.

And what I mean by that is, if you're talking about a team that wants to push tempo, Terrence Brown's a guy, right? I mean, this is a different model of Ty Lawson, who has a ton of speed, who can get up and down the court, who is not scared of contact, especially at the rim.

He also does a very good job with his first step getting into the lane, therefore being able to kick out to teammates.

We saw that against Charlotte.

But this is the school of Tyler Hansbro.

This is the school with Raymond Felton or Ty Lawson leading a national championship team at point guard.

This is a school that typically has some super heavyweight players out there.

And Right now, it's Matt Abel's a nice transfer from NC State.

Yeah.

Book and Jeff, are you guys beating Ty Lawson 1v1 at your best shape? All right.

I see, bro.

We did your intro.

and what that means so that we can do a better job of what we're, you know, here charged to do.

So the other thing basketball-wise I think that changes the most is the roster fluidity, right? Like Coach Williams used to build teams over three or four years, right? Like Ty Lawson, Wayne Ellington, Hansborough, Danny, those guys played three, four years together.

Three, obviously, because some of them were juniors and left.

Sean, Ray, Marv, they played multiple years together.

Like, if he needed a quarterback, right? Say you ran, say something happened to Stafford.

And we have Ty Lawson.

Is it Ty Lawson? No, we got Stetson Bennett and Ty

Simpson.

Ty Simpson.

Why did I say Lawson? Who's Ty Lawson? There's a Ty Lawson.

Yeah, he played on the Patriots.

There you go.

Remember? You had Gallinari.

You had Ty Lawson.

Mello was there,

right?

Malachi Flynn's junior year compared at a 90.

Ty Lawson's sophomore year at an 89.5. Cassius Winston, who I loved out of Michigan State, his sophomore year at an 88.2, and then Ty Lawson's junior year at an 87.1. Jam, what do you think of the names that the model spat out here?

Yeah, I think the one that really... makes the most sense to me is the Trey Burke one, a guy that maybe not an elite level playmaker, but was a very good playmaker, score, space to floor athlete as well, too.

So that one stands out a lot to me.

Yeah.

I think that's high law, like Ty Lawson, such a dimer multiple years in the NBA of like being one of the best CIS men in the NBA.

And that showed so much at UNC whenever he was playing in college, uh, I could see that a little

bit.
