Assessing 2015 Second Round NBA Draft Picks at Orlando Summer League
1 / 8Branden Dawson, Clippers Josh Cohen’s Analysis: Dawson will last in the NBA if he finds a way to be like a Kenneth Faried or a Draymond Green. His skills are similar and he has the intangibles to be a solid role player off the bench. Dawson brings high intensity and passion onto the court. When he is engaged in the offense, he can be explosive and aggressive. He is an extremely poor shooter, however (went 0-for-9 from 3-point distance in four years at Michigan State). He is also a below average free throw shooter (56 percent in college).
