2x2s can be really entertaining. One I've seen a lot covers the dimensions of lazy-hardworking and idiot-clever. The outcome is
* hardworking-clever: Ideal!
* lazy-idiot: don't need to worry, they'll not usually progress.
* lazy-clever: hmmm. not ideal but may still be useful from time to time.
* hardworking-idiot: bad! They can do a lot of damage
In truth there are usually more than two relevant dimensions.

I think it requires a certain definition of "lazy" that basically translates to "delegate everything you possibly can" - which we all know can be hard work in itself.
IME they are the first people to challenge assumptions about the way things are done, and the least happy with the answer "that's just the way we do it"
Just make sure you review their code.
Spend the time that needs to be spent implementing the generalisable aspects, so that the work never needs to be repeated.
Implement the problem specific aspects (with minimal code) against those changes (and if any similar problems come up in the future, the changes can be made in minimal time and with minimal work).
I'd also say that very few people are inherently lazy, they're often just demotivated through misalignment of their responsibilities versus interests.
