A.J. Lawson, RJ Barrett both grew up in neighbouring Mississauga, Ont., and played basketball together in middle and high school
Most Torontonians loathe the city’s downtown traffic but its slow pace gave A.J. Lawson the chance to soak in the fact that he’s now a member of his hometown Raptors.
Lawson went undrafted before joining the College Park Skyhawks, the minor league club for the Atlanta Hawks, in 2022. He then played a season with the Canadian Elite Basketball League’s Guelph Nighthawks that summer, a decision that he said put him on a path to the NBA because it got him in shape to join the Dallas Mavericks’ summer league team.
Lawson has career averages of 3.4 points, 1.2 rebounds and 7.4 minutes in 57 career NBA games with Dallas and the Minnesota Timberwolves over the past two seasons. The 6-foot-6, 185-pound guard Lawson averaged 24 points, 6.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 35.1 minutes in 11 games this season with the Long Island Nets, the G League affiliate of the Brooklyn Nets, before signing with the Toronto organization.
