Another powerhouse program with a ton of opportunity this coming season, Dawson could be a name to fill in the roles that some graduating seniors left from the Tigers program. I liked the way Dawson moved up and down the court, showing some potential in the open court on the fast break. Dawson is a capable shooter from the outside as well but is at his best when he’s attacking the basket. If Dawson can put on some weight and muscle between now and the start of the high school season, I think he has a chance to be named to the all-OCC team at the end of the season.
