10:54 AM ET 06.07 | North Carolina point guard Ty Lawson was charged Friday with driving after consuming alcohol after an early-morning traffic stop. Lawson was stopped in downtown Chapel Hill because of the loud music coming from the car, said Chapel Hill Police Capt. Jackie Carden. The car smelled of alcohol and a field sobriety test led the officer to file charges, she said. The arrest and incident reports did not disclose the Breathalyzer reading, according to the (Raleigh) News & Observer, but Carden said it must have been below .08 or Lawson also would have been charged with driving while impaired.

All teams are looking for guys with GREET SPEED like Lawsom, mainly Dever at Mr. Tarheel Tyler Hanborough can wait 1 last season even though he's been a guaranteed Top 3 pick the past 2 Year's. Lawson should come back an improve his 37.3 PPG at the College 3 Spot increase that 5.2 APG,an increase your drive an pull up shot to Avg. mre 12.7 PPG which means in the Pro's they see him as a T.J. Ford. Stay 1 mre season mkae a Title Run increase an POLISH your skills an bring your scoring up to 15.5 PPG. Plus that drunk driving before your 21 isnt going to help your character.

"Tyler Hanborough can wait 1 last season even though he's been a guaranteed Top 3 pick the past 2 Year's"

Cue up the cheesy lawyer commercial.. "you took a few drinks and you took the wheel.. not the smartest decision you've ever made, but have you actually broken the law?"
