Ty Lawson

Ty Lawson earns my respect for what he did at size. A point guard out of Clinton, Maryland, he won the 2009 national title with North Carolina, then went 18th in that year's draft to Minnesota before an immediate trade to Denver, where his game truly opened up. At 180 cm he was small for the NBA, yet he sliced through a forest of giants on speed and nerve. I'm a sucker for the undersized floor general who beats bigger men with quickness, and a guy who tasted the top in college and then carved out a real pro era clearly had the instincts to match.
