Will Ty Lawson be a first round draft pick.
I think a better question is if he will crack the lottery. Could he get picked by the suns at 14, or will he drop to say the 76ers or Mavs? IMO I think he should be drafted ahead of Flynn, Maynor, Holiday. I think he should be drafted after Rubio and Jennings for PGS.
Is this kid is about the same thing as felton, minus 2 inches, didn't felton get drafted 5th? Maybe Felton had an amazing combine, or Lawson is seen as too injury prone, or they feel he will end up as a Raymond Felton. Personally, I think this kid is going to be pretty good, he's defense is the only question I see in his game, the best comparison I can think of is Luke Ridnour, who went 14th, I think he will be a good back-up/decent starter.
Actually Lawson did IMHO better than Felton in the combine as well.
Lawson had a 36.5 inch max vert, 14 reps, 10.98 agility, and 3.12 3/4 court sprint
Felton had a 33.5 inch max vert, 6 reps, 10.5 agility and 3.06 3/4 court sprint
Lawson was a MUCH better PG at this stage than Felton. Just look at their stats from when they both entered.
I just don't understand where this lack of athleticism argument is coming from. In his latest profile update one of his weaknesses is athleticism. He has plenty of athleticism to be a big time NBA PG.
He is IMHO a steal if he gets out of the lottery somehow.
He can be if all the players go how they a slated to go. I think he is a good player.
