American Profiles: Memphis Forward Dedric Lawson

Follow @American_MBB

After a stellar freshman campaign, Memphis forward Dedric Lawson is proving it was indeed no fluke.

Since the opening tip of the 2016-17 season Lawson has been nothing short of dominant. He ranks third nationally with 11 double-doubles through 14 games. Lawson leads The American in scoring (20.6 ppg), ranks second in rebounding (11.1) and third in blocked shots (2.7). The sophomore has been selected to the Naismith Trophy and Karl Malone Award Watch Lists, and named the American Athletic Conference Player of the Week twice. Lawson has continued – and even improved on – where he left off at Memphis.
