Cutoff/status: 2026-07-18; roster-page listing, no verified 2026-27 contract. Toronto converted Lawson from two-way to a standard deal on April 11, but the official NBA pre-draft roster map listed him among 2026 free agents.

If Toronto re-signs him, the contingency line is roughly 25 GP, 8 MPG, .435/.780, 0.7 threes, 3.8 points, 1.6 rebounds, 0.4 assists, 0.4 steals, 0.1 blocks and 0.3 turnovers (7.5 simple FP/G).
Fantasy value
- Redraft: none without a contract; deep-league injury streamer only if signed.
- Dynasty: outside top 250; the 26-year-old needs a stable standard role.
- Ceiling: another team offers 15+ minutes as an athletic 3-and-D reserve.
- Floor: remains unsigned or returns on a non-guaranteed camp deal.
Career record
Pre-NBA: Three seasons at South Carolina (2018-21): 13.4 PPG as an SEC All-Freshman pick, 13.4 as a sophomore, 16.6 PPG (second-team All-SEC) as a junior. Draft: undrafted (2021). Spent 2021-22 in the G League with College Park (26 GP, 11.8 PTS, 6.3 REB, .481 FG) plus CEBL/Iowa Wolves stops before cracking the NBA.

Durability: No injury story — every low GP total is contract-driven (two-way limits and end-of-bench status across four seasons).
Trajectory: Four NBA seasons, 107 games, and one real showcase: the 2024-25 Toronto stretch (18.7 MPG, 9.1 PTS, 1.3 threes) that earned his April standard conversion — followed by a 2025-26 in which the role shrank back to 9 minutes. That is the record of a legitimate G League scorer who has twice failed to hold an NBA rotation spot, not a developing starter. For 2026-27 he is an unsigned free agent competing for a back-of-roster wing deal in Toronto or elsewhere; he becomes fantasy-relevant only if some team hands him 15+ MPG through injuries, at which point the 2024-25 line is the honest ceiling — a deep-league threes streamer.

Open questions
- Will Toronto use its remaining roster flexibility on Lawson after the Leonard decision?
- Does another team offer a clearer wing pathway?
- Is the live Raptors roster page merely lagging his free-agent status?
