Nuggets.com Q&A: Ty Lawson

Posted Sep 1, 2009
On draft night 2009, the Denver Nuggets acquired the draft rights to NCAA champion Ty Lawson, the 18th pick from the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Nuggets play an up-tempo style, which fits the speed of Lawson. Lawson will be the most anticipated addition to the Nuggets this season and Nuggets.com caught up with the point guard to talk to him about the Tar Heel connection as well as his dream come true.
