PATTERNS

Boom-or-bust player. Lawson's impact swings wildly relative to his average — some nights dominant, others invisible. Scoring varies by ~5 points per game.

Reliable shooter — hits 45%+ from the field in 83% of games. You can count on efficient nights more often than not.

Average defender. Lawson doesn't hurt you defensively, but he's not making opponents uncomfortable either.

Flat trajectory all season — first-half impact -0.4, second-half +0.3. No major shifts, which fits with the overall steadiness.

Tends to go on runs. Longest hot streak: 2 games. Longest cold streak: 6 games.
