Scouting report

Backcourt analysis

A.J. Lawson is a 56-rated shooting guard at the edge of a rotation, ranked #75 of 79 shooting guards in Backcourt.

His best fit is the Sharpshooter role, which spaces the floor and punishes every defender who helps off him. His three-point (70) and basketball IQ (57) are exactly what that role asks for, and the game rates the match as “Made for it”.

For a shooting guard, his standout attributes are three-point (70) and basketball IQ (57), in the top 42% and 85% of shooting guards respectively.

The trade-off is rebounding (40), in the bottom 3% of shooting guards — pair him with a big who controls the glass.

Plan his minutes around matchups and blowouts rather than a fixed nightly share. His stamina of 49 means his energy drains quickly, so watch the ENR column.

At 25 he is close to his ceiling of 58.

He earns $1.3M a season with a transfer value of $3.2M — fairly priced for his rating.
