Both grew up in neighbouring Mississauga, Ont., and played basketball together in middle and high school.
"I was ready after that off the get go, and then that's how I got my first two-way contract after that," said Lawson in the Raptors locker room."I feel like the CEBL was a great stepping-stone for me, get my confidence, get me in game shape, and keep me in focus and ready to ball out."
