Posted Jun 24, 2009
Over the past month, Ty Lawson has participated in 12 NBA team workouts, an exhausting tour across the country. He remains focused -- per the instruction of his agent, Jeff Fried -- on showing off his incendiary quickness and improved shooting touch in front of league executives. But a secondary goal has formed as well. "There's no downside to him learning about the business side of basketball at an early age," Fried said. (Washington Post)
