Here is one take on Lawson from Kiki Vandeweghe, "First of all, he's very strong," the GM said. "If you look at the history, he makes other players better, knows how to play. If you go back through the history of our league, guys who were very strong that way -- no matter what size they are -- they find a way to compete at their position. I think he really helps a team."
