BADGE: QUICK TRIGGER ⚡

Dempsey’s shooting fit comes from his ability to get the ball up quickly without needing a long setup. That becomes especially valuable when defenders are closing space and the opportunity to shoot is only there for a moment.

Quick Trigger represents that type of shot-making getting into the jumper efficiently and not wasting unnecessary motion once the decision to shoot has been made.

That skill can become even more valuable as competition gets faster and closeouts become more aggressive.

Boogs Take:
The quicker the game gets, the less time you have to prepare a shot. Dempsey having the ability to get into his jumper efficiently gives him something that can translate as the level of competition continues to rise.

A long-range shooting threat with a relentless approach to improvement. He brings strong vocal leadership to the floor, constantly communicating and helping direct those around him. His shooting ability forces defenses to cover every inch of the floor, while his defensive motor allows him to apply pressure from end line to end line. A two-way presence who impacts the game with his voice, effort, and perimeter skill.
