Rookie point guard Ty Lawson is learning the ropes from Chauncey Billups this season and it’s happening pretty darn quick. Lawson has played in 35 games (7 starts) for the Nuggets so far this season and he is averaging 22.6 minutes, 9.5 points, 2.2 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game. Lawson is also shooting the lights out this year hitting 51.5% from the floor and 44.2% from three point range this season. The Nuggets have to be ecstatic to have gotten Lawson in a draft day trade last June as he will be a starter down the road for them.

F/C Chris Andersen is still playing the game like his feet are on fire as he brings a endless energy to the Denver Nuggets. He has played in 31 games (0 starts) for the Nuggets this season and he is averaging 22.7 minutes, 6.0 points, 6.5 rebounds, 0.4 assists and 1.8 blocked shots per game. He is also shooting 55.9% from the floor but most of his shots are put-backs or dunks sho his % shoot be high. I think Anderson would be stretched out too much if he had to start some games but he is in the perfect role right now which is to create havoc for about 20-25 minutes a night.
