Ty Lawson

On Stephen: “It’s tough to make a two-guard into a point guard sometimes. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. But he’ll be a good player no matter where he goes.”

Stephen vs. Ty?

More from Bonnell:

The way I hear it from someone who should know, New York’s eighth pick might come down to a bake-off between Davidson’s Stephen Curry and North Carolina’s Ty Lawson.

I can’t believe Lawson is the eighth pick in this draft, but let’s play this out because it’s an interesting exercise: Lawson is dramatically superior as an athlete. Curry is dramatically superior as a basketball player. Do you want the triple-jump champ or the kid from the movie Hoosiers?

My gut: Curry will be a better pro over the entire course of his career.

Detroit?

Freep:

As for players who might be available at No. 15, it’s too early to tell.The Pistons like Pittsburgh power forward DeJuan Blair and mock drafts have varied players from Davidson’s Stephen Curry to North Carolina’s Ty Lawson as possible available players.
