There may not be anyone faster coast to coast in the NBA than Ty Lawson, who the Rockets acquired from the Nuggets this past summer. When engaged, Lawson is very good in transition because of his speed and he has terrific court vision (third in league in assists last season). He is also stronger than his body appears. WATCH:
The Rockets led the NBA in 3-pointers made last season (11.4 per game). They were also second in pace of play. Nearly 23 percent of their shot attempts came with at least 18 seconds left on the shot clock.
