Repetition helps Ty Lawson nail 3-point landings

Posted Jan 8, 2010
On any random college night, say about 2 a.m., you might have found Ty Lawson hoisting jump shots at the Dean Dome. First of all, he was just bored. So why not work on his jumper? But then, there also was a bigger picture. When Lawson tested the NBA waters after his sophomore season at UNC, one of the knocks about his game was his jump shot. But those shots have turned Lawson from a questionable shooter to Denver's most reliable 3-point shooter. (Denver Post)
