Lawson is teaching Karl twitter, and lobbying for picks

The NBA's quickest point guard needs more bandwidth. Ty Lawson desperately wants to tell the Nuggets which player to steal in the draft's opening round. But not this second. First, Lawson must fast-forward Denver coach George Karl through a crash course in Twitter for Dummies.
The other prospect from Baylor is 19-year-old Quincy Miller. The red flag is a torn ACL in his left knee suffered during 2010. The upside is length and a shooting touch that has scouts dreaming that Miller's NBA career path will follow somewhere between the footsteps of Rashard Lewis and Kevin Durant.
Lawson lobbied Ujiri to take a gamble on Miller.

I don't think players should have to much input on player personnel decisions, and I doubt he will, but it is good that he is trying to step up.

Why not? Miller would be a steal for the nugs imo. Also Kevin Durant told the Thunder to draft Russ Westbrook even though it was considered a reach at 4. Sometimes things work out for the better.

don't get me wrong I love the idea of drafting Miller (although the Nuggets would then pretty much have to trade a SF as they already have 3 guys who are best at sf), but when players start to get too much influence in the front office, trouble usually starts. For an example take a look at the Cavs when Lebron was there.

Lawson does not and never will have the status and influence of a LeBron James or a Kobe Bryant, so I don't think it could turn into a bad thing. Input from player/s is always good, doesn't mean it has to be listened to though.
