Strengths:
Dawson is a point guard with good positional size and a solid feel for the game. She makes shots at all levels and shows strong instincts and understanding of how to manage the PG position. Versatile enough to play both on and off the ball, giving her flexibility in various backcourt roles. Projects well at the mid-major level.
Areas for Improvement:
Needs to strengthen her left hand, which currently limits her playmaking. Can be turnover-prone under pressure, and her confidence can waver from game to game. Tightening her handle and becoming more consistent in her decision-making will be important for long-term development.
Overall Assessment:
Dawson has the tools and basketball IQ to contribute at the next level. With continued work on ball security, confidence, and left-hand development, she can become a steady and valuable guard in a mid-major program.
