When the Houston Rockets were eliminated by the Golden State Warriors last season, James Harden expressed a desire to have a point guard for the following year. Two months later, Houston acquired Ty Lawson from the Denver Nuggets. Teaming him alongside Harden and Dwight Howard, the Rockets seemed poised for a deep run for years to come.
It was Lawson’s duties to take the ball handling obligations away from Harden. Unfortunately after 11 games, Lawson was benched and never lived up to the expectations that brought him to Clutch City.
