Here's another factor I haven't heard discussed about Ty Lawson's return: his stamina. Remember, when Bobby Frasor went down, one of the big storylines was how Lawson would hold up for 35 minutes per game. As Bobby Frasor noted last year, when a player has an extended absence, he's not just missing games. He's also missing practices, which means he's missing conditioning. (Tar Heel Blue)
