Evaluating early-entry NBA draft decisions

Posted Apr 28, 2009
Ty Lawson, G, North Carolina: After this year’s NCAA tournament, there was no question who the nation’s best point guard was. Despite missing the Tar Heels’ opening-round game against Radford with a toe injury, Lawson absolutely torched opposing backcourts during UNC’s national championship run, making him almost a lock to be the first point guard taken in this year's draft. Draft Decision: Good. (FOX Sports)
