Los Angeles Clippers’ rookie power forward Branden Dawson emerged as a defensive specialist in college with Michigan State. And after continuing to display his talents in the Orlando Pro Summer League, the Clippers are now expected to sign him. Which, considering Glen Davis’ +/- of -14.8 this year and the general negative impact he has in L.A., a new backup to help support Blake Griffin is needed.
That being said, he will need to prove himself in the NBA. Summer League isn’t exactly a hotbed for elite talent and his range on offense is very limited.
