Welcome To The NBA, Ty Lawson

Now, I’m on record as having picked the Nuggets to win the NBA title this year, so I’m not exactly unbiased, but a big reason I picked them was because of Lawson. As a sparkplug off the bench, he’s perfect. He’ll come in and push the ball at a breakneck pace--in the NBA, not many second units can keep up with that. Factor in the added rest he’ll provide to an aging Billups, and he quietly makes Denver a much better team.
