The NBA season is quickly approaching.
Teams like the Denver Nuggets are looking to bounce back from a disappointing campaign last season. Denver missed the postseason for the first time in ten years.
Nuggets head coach Brian Shaw is looking for Ty Lawson to take on more responsibility.
“One thing I wanted to do with him,” Shaw said, “and still may do before we get too heavy into is I want to take him to a Broncos practice so he can see Peyton Manning and how he directs traffic, and how everybody falls in line behind him. But they only do that because they know the work ethic that he has and the time he puts in, and they respect that.”
Lawson is intrigued by the idea.
“I’ve met Peyton before,” Lawson said, “but I definitely just want to see how he runs his team. To see whether he’s yelling and screaming the whole time, or if he’s just talking. What his tone is when he’s talking to players. I want to see what his mindset is during practice.”
