Yeah, his shot is almost a set shot so I imagine it's got to be hard for him to stop on a dime for a pullup jumper.

His ability to get to the rack is pretty amazing, which is ultimately what should give him some staying power in this league. The only thing on that is that it will be a little different going against the physical, athletic bigs he will see in the NBA compared to a soft Duke defense that Lawson was designed to destroy. For that reason, I think he needs a reliable jump shot if he really wants to be a good player in this league.

Still, he'd be a pretty good pick for the Mavs at #22 imo.
