Dawkins was one of the more surprising players I was able to see at the 3SSB Invitational, as his ability to impact various aspects of the game stood out in Garner Road’s opening day loss to ASAK. The 6-foot-4 guard was active on the defensive end early, showing the lateral footspeed and quick hands to get into his opponents dribbling space and cause turnovers. Dawkins is effective with the 3-ball off the dribble and the catch, gets good lift on the mid-range jumpshot, has the moves and handles to break his defender down and get down hill, and displays good body control through contact within 15-feet of the basket. The spin move into a jumper was the move that really got my attention given the difficulty of the shot. Dawkins was solid running the offense, and used his height to make passes over the defense to bigs in the post, as well as finding players moving off the ball. Great motor and tough player that can play on or off the ball.
