Rookie guard Ty Lawson has been outstanding so far for the Nuggets this season. He has played in 3 games (0 starts) for the Nuggets in which he is averaging 21.7 minutes, 10.7 points, 2.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.3 steals per game. Lawson is shooting 50% from the floor so far this season. Lawson will continue to earn big minutes as the #3 guard on the Nuggets even after J.R. Smith returns from his suspension. That is likely bad news for Anthony Carter who will lose minutes.
