Nuggets Targeted Lawson From The Start

Posted Jul 2, 2009
Last season the Denver Nuggets took a liking to University of North Carolina point guard Ty Lawson. However, after seeing his draft stock drop, Lawson opted to return to school. A year later, the Nuggets were finally able to get their man. And make no mistake about it, the Nuggets were on a quest to land Lawson by any means necessary in Thursday's NBA Draft. (Hoops World)
