Wizards sign Ty Lawson to deal, according to report

The Wizards are filling their 15th and final roster spot by signing Ty Lawson to a deal, according to Shams Charania of Yahoo Sports.

Lawson has spent this season in the Chinese Basketball Association with the Shandong Golden Stars where he averaged 25.5 points and 6.5 assists per game on 54.8 percent shooting from the field and 40.1 percent on threes.

According to a report from Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, the Wizards were reportedly interested in signing Lawson back in February, but wound up signing Ramon Sessions instead.

So why didn’t the Wizards sign him sooner?
