hes better than a 34% shooter, and i think hes more talented than he played...he seems like he just played dumb...took bad shots, made passes he shouldnt have attempted...a better understanding of the game would help this kid out alot and make him into a good enough pro player overseas to warrant decent money...if i were him i would get on that stupid play thing, since hes a pg, it might help
Basketball isn't exactly filled with Mensa members. Therefore, pleading "dumb" wouldn't make him unique or allay concerns about his ability to play basketball at a professional level.
He is a terrible shooter, makes egregious decisions on the court, can't defend against quick point guards, and has done nothing but lose consistently on the college level. Let him sell headbands to support his child.
There are certainly low-level leagues that would take an American who can play tough. Lawrence isn't a bad passer but he didn't know when to be aggressive; he's not quick but he is strong as hell; and he has consistently been a solid steals guy and draws fouls. As a Big East starter? A poor fit. As a pure shooter, a classic point guard? He's not good. But if Grady Reynolds can be a dunking superstar in Poland, Lawrence can catch some time on some team's bench.
Thing is, he's got a weird skill set, so that some people think he's the crappiest and others see how he has value. I think he shouldn't be a primary ball handler, for sure. Who knows, maybe if he's not shooting off the dribble his percentages would be better.
I do hope that Boothe learned a little from Lawrence - the fact that a slow guy who can't shoot, isn't tall, and isn't a great finisher averaged 3.5 free throw attempts per game his senior year means he's at least a crafty player.
