Ty Lawson seems to be a perfect fit for Denver

Posted Jun 28, 2009
Ty Lawson landed in the Denver Nuggets' hands about 90 minutes into Thursday night's NBA draft, but the process of getting the speedy point guard in a Nuggets uniform was more than a year in the making. "Ty was one of the guys that we targeted early in the year," Nuggets director of pro scouting Mike Bratz said. "When we went over a few names with coach (George) Karl and talked about what they could do, he got excited about Ty." (Deseret News)
