Ty Lawson

Defending champion U.S. Monastir (ProA) agreed terms with experienced 34-year old American point guard Ty Lawson (180cm-88kg-87, college: UNC). Lawson played last summer at Mets de Guaynabo in Puerto Rican BSN league.

In 2009 he was drafted by Minnesota Timberwolves (NBA) in first round (18th overall). He attended University of North Carolina and it will be his 13th (hopefully lucky) season in pro basketball.

Lawson is quite experienced player. Lawson's career allowed him to visit three different continents, while he played in four different countries. He tasted the life as pro basketball player in Europe, Asia and of course North America.

Lawson has played previously professionally in China (Heroes and Sturgeons), Greece (Kolossos H Hotels), Lithuania (Zalgiris) and NBA (Denver Nuggets, Houston Rockets, Washington Wizards, Sacramento Kings and Indiana Pacers).

The list of the past achievements is quite long as among others his team made it to the Chinese CBA Semifinals in 2018. He was voted to Asia-Basket.com All-Chinese CBA Honorable Mention in 2018 and 2020.
On Lawson: A tiny PG with great personality. He doesn t fear anyone on the court, has leadership, scoring skills and great court vision. Showed flashes of true starship in his first season as a pro, even because no one was expecting this kind of effectiveness from him. Also, has quick hands and can be a very good defender, even on taller opponents.
