Lawson is a stretch-big gaining steady traction on the recruiting trail. He shoots the three with confidence and consistency, forcing defenses to respect his range. At his size, that alone creates mismatches. He has added strength to his frame, which has helped his interior presence. Lawson protects the rim, rebounds his area and finishes above the rim when given space. He scores comfortably from multiple levels and plays with a high basketball IQ. His ability to impact the game on both ends without needing heavy usage makes him an attractive modern frontcourt piece.
