No More Lies From Me!

Ok, so I am a lair, to all of my fellow Nuggets fans I'm sorry. But im not going to do it any more. For the past 4 plus years I have been a Ty Lawson hater. Not passionately like my deep seeded hatred for Kobe or the Lakers, but just a dislike for some parts of his game and the love that he got from the media. And like most fans, the minute he gets drafted to my team all that goes out the window. But let me voice my true feelings.
I like him as a fit for our team, and at the pick that we got him at hes a fit for a need, but I see alot of flaws. First and formost is his jumpshot. Now i have watched this kid shoot the rock, he is inconsisitant. He puts his damn palm on the ball, and you cant be a good shooter in my book when you do that. Summer League stats meen nothing i know this, but he is 0-7 and 1-8 from the field in hiis first two games. Another thing, and im going to keep it to this for the time being, his defense is very questionable. Now just becasue he averaged alot of steals in college means nothing. HE is an Allen Iverson defender, he jumps passing lanes and gets alot of steals, which is good. But his overall defense is questionable.
I'm sorry, I love the Nuggets I do, been my fav team since I could walk. But i can't sleep at night! The lie is off my back. Please feel free to tell me how stupid I am and that I will see. That I am wrong, and Dickey V knows all, and he is right that Lawon is going to be a stud. I want to be wrong!

I don’t think there is any need to start panicking about Lawson right now … Summer League stats don’t mean much. Lawson will no doubt need some molding and that is where the Nuggets coaching staff (see: Nene, Dahntay Jones, J.R. Smith, and even Melo) and Billups will come into play.
Lawson is a prospect and while it’s okay to get excited about what kind of player he could become (I’m pretty optimistic b/c the Nuggets brain trust likes him so much) it’s also okay to be skeptical about a rookie.
Nothing is a sure thing and I too hope that your skepticism is proved wrong, but right now all we have to go off is two semi-meaningless summer league games. DON’T LOSE HOPE YET!!

Ty Lawson
He had a pretty successful college career, and has been the tar heels starting pg for a while (of course thats a good basketball school), and won a title with them…i think he’s a lot more proven as a player than a lot of the younger players like jennings, holiday, or flynn. Therefore I still feel like he will turn out to be a fine player, especially since he’s learning from Billups.
