Found June 21, 2009 on *D Cowboys Corner:

I want Ty Lawson.  This guy is a proven winner and is a TRUE point guard.  My gut tells me that Andre Miller is not going to resign with us.  As much as I would like to have him back, the NBA has become a point guard driven league. His stock is rising.   Andre is a unselfish veteran who is hungry for a ring.  I wouldn't be surprised to see him end up with a team like the Cavs, Lakers, or Trailblazers.  Even if we end up keeping Miller, i would still take Lawson.  Miller would probably sign a 2-3 year deal, giving Lawson just enough time to learn how to play the point position at the pro level by one of the game's truest point guards.  He'd still be getting his minutes during this time as well.    

If Ty Lawson was 6'2 or 6'3, he'd be top 10 pick.  Yes, he is a little undersized, but he plays big.  He's a strong guard, both mentally and physically, and his leadership reigns above all in this draft class.  He reminds of the former St Joe great Jameer Nelson.  A great college player who was passed up by many teams because of his size.  

Nelson was an NBA all-star last season.  

How's Sebastian Telfair doing? Luke Jackson? Dorell Wright?  All of these players were taken ahead of Nelson. If Lawson is on the board at 17, I really hope they don't let him slip by.
