I can't see a world where Jamison Battle can make it to the NBA and Dawson can't. Go get'm Dawson!

To me....with no idea what NBA teams look for ...it seems Garcia and Battle are pretty similar?
They have similar shooting stats. Garcia is 4 inches taller but I'm not sure he utilizes the advantage.
Battle played in 59 games as a NBA rookie.
Summer league probably important for Garcia? Pistons were in the playoffs...were they the best
fit or his only offer?

No, they're much different players.

Dawson is a better player but unfortunately for him, Battle's skillset is more valuable to NBA teams (deeper range, quicker release, has better bounce).

I could see Dawson getting some cups of coffee in the league but would bet he ends up making bank as a great dog in the EuroLeague.

The Pistons' summer league roster isn't complete but Dawson already is on it. The type of contract he's likely to get (two-way or Exhibit 10) doesn't vary much by franchise. The biggest difference by franchise would be who has more openings on the regular roster due to injuries during the season.

I agree. I'm no great basketball mind, but I think Battle is better suited for the NBA game with his shooting range and he looks to be a bit more mobile on offense and can set up quickly either off the dribble or off a screen with his shot. Key for Garcia will be what he can do on defense. He will have to get stronger, but you can't teach height. Battle is really one-dimensional and probably limited to being a juice off the bench guy.
