Dawson is a true interior presence who thrives with his back to the basket and a patient, deliberate approach. He does an excellent job reading defenses before making his move, using a variety of pivots, spins, and footwork to create high-percentage opportunities. Ruder is comfortable finishing with either hand, but often looks to get to his signature fall-away jumper, which he executes with touch and consistency. He’s also shown the ability to step out and hit perimeter shots, stretching defenses and adding versatility to his offensive game. With his blend of size, skill, and patience, Ruder is a tough matchup in the post and continues to develop into a well-rounded frontcourt threat.
