is a pure shooter who can pull up in the face of opposing players while dribbling and catch, showcasing a high release point that allows him to take multiple shots from range. His frame enables him to shoot without being bothered by late contests. Additionally, he scores points in the interior by running in transition or creating driving lanes for himself through dribble penetration. Sawyer is currently committed to Lipscomb University where I can see his game translating well on the D1 level.

A skilled perimeter weapon who operated effectively both on and off the ball. Dotson had a knack for lifting, drifting, and back cutting to create open looks. He knocked down jumpers off screens from deep and was just as dangerous in the midrange with efficient elbow pull-ups. His high release made his shot nearly unblockable, earning him a green light whenever he reached his spots.
