Ty Lawson, LA Ignite
A lot of prominent alumni teams will be featured once again in TBT 2024. North Carolina isn鈥檛 fielding one, but it still has several notable former players who will hit the hardwood in this year鈥檚 tournament including J.P. Tokoto, P.J. Hairston and Lawson. While Tokoto and Hairston were key contributors during their time in Chapel Hill, Lawson is the headliner who helped lead the Tar Heels to a national championship in 2009 as he averaged 16.6 points while earning ACC Player of the Year and second-team All-American honors. Lawson went on to enjoy an eight-year career in the NBA, primarily playing for the Denver Nuggets. He will compete for LA Ignite this summer, the No. 8 seed in the Houston region.
