Hunter Dickinson

Draft Notes

Dickinson is a load to handle in the paint. He’s a throw-back center who throws his weight around inside and also has a really soft touch around the basket.

Establishes position well, using his big frame to shield defenders and carve out space in the paint.

Has a really good touch from inside and from mid range. A lefty who can score with either hand (shot nearly 60% from the field as a freshman).

Plays a mature game and makes good decisions with the ball. Knows how to move the ball out of double-teams.

An older prospect for his class.

Doesn’t have great speed or agility and will struggle to guard in space at the next level.
