He moves the ball well in the halfcourt set, he's a tough on ball defender and goes 100mph on the press.

[player_tooltip player_id='1186049' first='Luke' last='Lawson'] | 6'2" | G | SV 2023   A big bodied guard who also can do work in the post, Lawson played a key role in beating the press late in the fourth quarter--His physicality helped SV get the ball up the floor and being a bigger guard, he also was able to toss the ball over Central's front 4 and down to Lyzcek on the offensive end. Lawson also did work defensively to limit the frontcourt players from Central.
