Dawkins was a little-known name until he dropped 32 points on the Duke Blue Devils in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. While it was certainly a standout performance, Dawkins had been good all season long, averaging 15.6 points per game in 33 starts for the Knights. He clearly thinks his performance could propel him up draft boards, and at 24, he probably doesn’t want to wait much longer to embark on his NBA dream.
