Lawson averaged 14.7 points across 33 games for Valur with a best of 29 points coming in December as part of six games with 20+ points in the season.

The former GB junior international was part of the Thor Thorl side that won the playoffs title in Iceland last season and made the switch to Valur for a third successive season in Iceland.

Last year, Lawson got the better of Deane Williams in the finals and on this occasion there was familiar opposition with Taiwo Badmus on the Tindastoll side having averaged 18.8 points and 6.7 rebounds per game.

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
