“nba size” doesn’t exist anymore, he’s a tall lanky athletic baller. he has a future in the league
We'll see how his workouts go, I guess. I can't find dude in any mocks. The only recently updated scouting report says this:
"There are three concerns NBA teams have with Lawson. One, he is undersized to play the 4 or 5 in today’s NBA. Secondly, he is not a good enough jump shooter to space the floor. Lastly, he will be 22 when the next NBA season begins. A perfect comparison for Lawson is Paul Millsap. In Millsap’s final year at Louisiana Tech, he averaged 19.6 points and 13.3 rebounds per game on a 57.8/62.3/0 split. As you can see, Millsap made it to the NBA without any three point shot at all. Lawson does not have that luxury. Lawson is listed at 6’9” 230, while Millsap was listed at 6’8” 245. For Lawson to catch on with an NBA team, he will not only need to be an average three point shooter, but he will have to competently guard opposing power forwards and be an above average rebounder."
Couple that with what oscar Pearl said:
"Oh, I love Dedric," Pearl told reporters. "He's a pro. He's got an old-school game, scores inside and out. He's got to work a little bit defensively, get a little stronger, move a little bit better, but he's got a great future. I'm happy for him."
It looks right now that getting drafted is far from a sure thing. If he comes back he's going to be the conference POY.
