Lawson's on-the-job training makes impact for Nuggets

Posted Nov 27, 2009
Travel light, travel quick is the surest way to slog through an NBA season, so the Denver Nuggets tote their own deck of laminated nameplates to stick above each stall in the visitors' dressing rooms for a few hours on game nights. Thin, slick and shiny, they're all set up the same: Player's name, player's number. Until you get to the one that says "Rookie, #3." That would be Ty Lawson, who might not play much like a rookie these days. (NBA.com)
