Dickerson has steadily been finding his footing within this Mt. Zion rotation this fall to set himself up as a very valuable piece for the EPL and Grind Session program. His impactful positional size around 6-foot-4 allows him to toggle multiple positions for head coach Rod Harrison depending on the lineup. So far the past couple of months, he’s played more off the ball as a 2/3 who can space the floor from the corners as a catch-and-shoot guy and has improved his awareness as an off-ball cutter compared to his underclassmen seasons at Bullis. What has impressed me the most is his willingness as a rebounder and vocal presence quarterbacking the defense from the backline or the weak side. He started the day off with a bang as Mt. Zion clawed their way back into the matchup against DeMatha after trailing by double-digits for most of the way before connecting on the game-winning triple from the right corner.

A few highs from Dickerson as he too is a new face to this Mt. Zion group. The 6’4″-6’5″ southpaw has been exceptional as a communicator on the defensive end in my viewings this fall. He seems to be buying in as more of a connective piece compared to early in his high school career where he sometimes tried to win games with one possession. Offensively he’s been more of a baseline runner who can flare out to corners when others establish paint touches. His work on the glass has been another area of promise, especially as this team approaches it as a job done by committee.
