Ty Lawson learns lesson
Posted Aug 21, 2008
North Carolina point guard Ty Lawson doesn't plan to give up watching "SpongeBob SquarePants" cartoons or wearing crazy socks. But the oft-dubbed "Dennis the Menace" says he's grown up quite a bit during the offseason -- and plans to show it on the court. "This was a rough summer,'' he said Wednesday. "It's been kind of tough. But I think it has matured me a lot."
