Ty Lawson used the lockout wisely, expanding his horizons and trimming his waistline. After arriving back in the United States from a Fall stint playing for Zalgiris in Kaunas, Lithuania, the 5-foot-11 Lawson showed off the spring in his 185-pound frame -- the lowest his weight has been since high school -- with a vicious dunk in one-on-one drills over 6-9 Pops Mensah-Bonsu at Verizon Center last week.
