Ty Lawson remains a free agent this offseason after playing for three teams since the end of the 14-15 season. Lawson was traded by the Denver Nuggets to the Houston Rockets and then signed with the Indiana Pacers after he was released.

Lawson has had four DUI arrests from 2008 until 2015 and went to alcohol rehab in 2015.

"I don’t think so, especially when I was moved to the bench and was not playing many minutes," said Lawson when asked if he ever relaxed last season. "Everything was under a microscope. I couldn’t play freely and loosely like I did because I felt like if I missed a shot I was coming right out. I had eyes on the back of my shoulders at all times."

Lawson was asked what he says to prospective teams when they ask about his alcohol issues.

"Things happened in the media because I drank and drove. But I’m not a person out here like everyone thinks that I’m drunk all day. No, I don’t do that. A lot of my friends, we go out and celebrate. But I’m not that person in the morning getting drunk before practice. I think there is a big misconception about what everybody thinks. That’s what I basically tell them. I keep it honest."

Lawson believes he is getting his game back this summer.

"I think so. The whole thing is with confidence. Last [season] was the first time I felt that I wasn’t the confident player. If I did any wrong thing, I would be scared to shoot it or scared to make a pass. But it’s all confidence. I sat down, looked in the mirror and watched my old YouTube videos and realized I am the same player I am. I just have to be confident shooting the ball and play my regular game."

Lawson was asked if he believes he's sleeper free agent.

"I think so. At this point, I am not going to say they are going to get me for cheap. But they’re going to get me for cheaper than I feel I’m worth … I feel like I’m overlooked in free agency."
