DraftExpress: What made you decide to transfer to Oak Hill?
Tywon Lawson: Probably more exposure, and like I mean, the best competition. You get better up there, always playing against great players.
DraftExpress: How is your relationship with
Kevin Durant?
Tywon Lawson: Our relationship is real good. We were friends before Oak Hill, were friends after Oak Hill. We have a real good relationship.
DraftExpress: What was it like playing against OJ Mayo when he had 40+ points?
Tywon Lawson: It was fun. Hes a great player, Id never played against him before, and it was great for me to see what he does and what I can work on.
DraftExpress: What role do you see yourself in your freshman year at North Carolina?
Tywon Lawson: Probably running the point guard, getting the team involved, getting everyone shots, and scoring a little bit if I have to.
DraftExpress: Do you see yourself starting from day 1?
Tywon Lawson: I want to, I mean I hope so. Im going to work hard in practice, so I mean I want to though.
DraftExpress: How good do you think North Carolina will be next season with the impact of this recruiting class that youre a part of?
Tywon Lawson: I think were going to be real good. I think were going to make it deep into the NCAA Tournament. Im hoping we can get a national championship out of it.
DraftExpress: How is it different playing with
Michael Beasley in comparison with
Kevin Durant?
Tywon Lawson: When playing with Mike, hes an inside presence, Kevin, he does everything, shoot, dribble, post up, he does all that. Theyre both great players.
DraftExpress: What do you think of all the
Raymond Felton comparisons you seem to be getting?
Tywon Lawson: Its a good comparison, because
Raymond Feltons a great player, he did real well at North Carolina. I want to have my own identity. I dont want to be known as
Raymond Feltons backup or something like that, I want to be Tywon Lawson, so the next guy coming in they be like oh your like Tywon Lawson.
DraftExpress: What areas of your game do you feel you need to work on going into college?
Tywon Lawson: Probably my mid-range game, probably like inside, because I either shoot a three, or go all the way to the basket. So mid-range game, and probably getting stronger with the ball.
DraftExpress: What steps do you plan on taking to improve your game?
Tywon Lawson: Probably just getting a lot of shots up, taking one dribble pull-ups, two dribble pull-ups.
DraftExpress: How does it feel being the only true point guard selected to the Hoop Summit team?
Tywon Lawson: It feels good, because they could pick any other point guard, or they could add a backup point guard but they didnt, so it says a lot to me being the only true point guard on the team.
DraftExpress: How do you think your style fits in with the international style of play?
Tywon Lawson: I think itll be good, because we went to France, and we played over there, and it was a little difficult for the international players to play against, because we were up and down, so I think itll be real good against them.
DraftExpress: Thank you for your time.
Tywon Lawson: Thanks
