Ty Lawson 2009 vs. Joel Berry 2017

Posted Jan 19, 2017
Although Joel Berry’s been great this year, his season pales in comparison to Ty Lawson’s sublime 2009 campaign—the G.O.A.T. point-guard statline in UNC history (with apologies to a couple of Phil Ford seasons, Kenny Smith in ’87, Raymond Felton in ’05, etc.). Berry stacks up favorably to Lawson in some key categories, while falling well short in others. (The Secondary Break)
