Ty Lawson was one of the best rookies this year. He was one of the few rookies to be playing on a championship contending team and accepted a backup role behind Chauncy Billups, unlike the top picks who started on losing teams.
Ty played exceptional this season backing up Chauncy Billups and showed that he can lead the team. He started in 8 games for the Nuggets while Chauncy Billups was injured. During those games he averaged 17 points and 6 assist which is great for any rookie to average. He was one of the few rookie point guards to get regular rotation minutes and alongside Brandon Jennings as the only two rookie point guards to make the playoffs.
A few memorable moments Ty Lawson had this year was when he dunked on 7 foot Dj Mbenga of the Lakers during the regular season and when he dunked on 7 foot Kosta Kofus of the Jazz during game six of the first round series which put the Nuggets up by two later in the game.
This offseason Ty Lawson looks to get much better for next year. Lawson will spend part of his offseason working out with "The Hoops Whisperer" Idan Ravin along with Kevin Durant. Ravin has made many great players better such as Kevin Durant and Kobe Bryant. Durant and Lawson were high school and AAU teammates.
Ty Lawson is no longer a rookie and has to get ready for the rest of his career which starts this offseason and this summer.
