Former Michigan State Basketball standout forward Branden Dawson has found a new temporary home. According to a fellow Michigan State fan in the Michigan State Recruiting & News Facebook page, Tiger Chan, Dawson will play with Jeotai Technology of Taiwan’s SBL (Super Basketball League).
Dawson started his career with the Los Angeles Clippers, where he played from 2015-16. After that, he bounced around the G League for a few seasons before he headed overseas. Since then, he has played in Israel, Japan, and Mexico before now heading to Taiwan where he will play until May.
Dawson will play his first game in the SBL on Dec. 6 at 2:00 a.m. EST.
Dawson was a top 20 recruit coming out of high school before having a stellar career at MSU as a bruising power forward. Dawson was a great player who definitely earned his shot in the NBA, but his size wasn’t a great fit. At 6’6″, his interior play didn’t translate as well to the NBA, but he seems to be putting together a nice career on the international circuit.
