UNC freshman runs with a purpose

Posted Dec 16, 2006

The adjectives come easily to those who watch him, even for brief periods of time: explosive, speedy, quick, fast. But there's a reason why no one knows exactly how fast Ty Lawson can run. North Carolina's freshman point guard hasn't put himself in position to be timed. No 40-yard dashes. No 100-meter races. No 200-meter sprints. Lawson lacks the same curiosity as all of the reporters and fans who want to be able to quantify his speed. (Durham Herald-Sun)
