SCOUTING REPORT
Strengths: Dawson’s main strength has always been his great athletic ability and above average size, speed, and strength. His transition game is excellent, and few players his height can defend him on the move. Dawson also plays terrific defense and rebounds alongside the best players in the draft pool.

Weaknesses: The glaring hole in Dawson’s game is clearly his offensive contribution. His lack of height puts him in the small forward category, but he shoots like a center. He struggles from outside, and he has difficulty creating his own shots. Dawson’s athletic ability may be able to carry him to the late second round, but he certainly has a lot to work on with his offensive role.
