Dotson leads the Big-12 in scoring.
Leads the Big-12 in FT's (made and attempts)
Top 5 in assists (5th) and steals (2nd) per game.
His usage is up over 7% from last year, his PER is up 7 points from last season and he's playing 35 minutes a night (3rd most in the league).
Has he improved enough to be a 1st round pick? Unlikely at this point. A 40% 3 point shot would maybe entice some teams at the bottom of the 1st but at his size his ceiling was always limited.
We'll welcome him back with open arms if he did decide to stay another year. He'd be the best player in College Basketball next season.
He might end up 1st team All Big-12, Big-12 POY, 1st team All American and potentially lead this team to a National Championship. What will be said if all that happens?
that will mean he has picked his game up from where it is at right now.
All of what you say sounds good - -BUT none of what you said has anything to do with what the NBA scouts told him he needed to work and improve on. - -His outside J is still very suspect at best , he can't create his own shot from the outside. - If you notice when he shoots his three it's sit up to where he is wide open and he has time to set his feet, even then look at his 3 point %. - -The NBA has told him he has to get better with his outside J , he was told he needed to work on taking care of the ball - -he hasn't improved there. He can't just try and believe he is going to make a living on driving the ball in the NBA as has been mention there are many many players just as quick in the NBA as Devon.
As Far as the things you mentioned above, Frank Mason accomplished all those things - -look where he is at. - Nothing of much at this point, - Devon is NOT improved in the things that he was told he needed to do if he wanted to succeed and have a meaningful path to the NBA
