{"playerId":640,"percentChange":0,"averageDraftPosition":19.2,"percentOwned":91.7,"playerRaterSEASON":6.9,"playerRater7DAY":8.2,"mostRecentNews":{"news":"Lawson averaged 16.6 points (46 percent shooting), 6.9 assists, and 1.5 steals in 73 games this season.","spin":"The young point guard took another step forward this year, improving his points, assists, and steals per game for the fourth straight year. Lawson was particularly productive after the All-Star break where he averaged 18.8 points per game while shooting 50 percent from the field. His assists fell after the break but so did his turnover rate. Lawson's increased scoring output was not due to an increase in shot attempts but rather a better rate of conversion. While Lawson's size will limit his ability to consistently contribute in all categories, his quickness, range, and continuing maturation are all attributes you look for in a point guard. If you miss out, or simply do not wish to pay the price, on one of the top tier point guards in next year's draft, Lawson is a talented young player not to overlook.","date":"Mon May 27"},"fullName":"Ty Lawson","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Building off of a spectacular second half during the 2010-11 season, Lawson broke out in a big way in 2011-12 to the tune of 16.4 points, 3.7 rebounds, 6.6 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.2 3-pointers per contest in his first full season as a starter. With tremendous percentages (48.8 percent from the floor, 82.4 percent from the line), he catapulted to No. 19 on our Player Rater by the end of the season. Lawson is blessed with top-end speed and quickness, and is fearless in his attempts to get to the basket, where he can create or finish with a variety of offensive moves. Already a borderline elite fantasy point guard, Lawson looked brilliant last season during a seven-game playoff series against the Lakers and is poised to deliver once again in 2012-13.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Oct 10"},"playerRater30DAY":-1.6,"playerRater15DAY":2.4,"positionRank":19}
