Agree with this...but you also got a glance at what he can do when he is playing with confidence, which is really the most important issue for him at this point.
He could end up being one of 2nd round "steals" of his draft. He's strong, can play some D, and can shoot from deep, as well as come off picks for midrange shots. You saw some other things yesterday, particularly moving without the ball.
Was kind of hoping that he played more minutes the second half of the season. Lee has been solid, but I think Dotson can do many of the things Lee does...he just needs the minutes to find his place on the team.
Time will tell, of course, but he has some potential, and if you believe some of the rumors around the trade deadline, there were teams who were looking at him.
