You still remember Dwayne Dedmon, the space-type blue-collar center with strong athletic ability.

Dewayne Dedmon, Dwayne Dedmon, 7 feet tall (213 cm), plays as center (C). He was born in August 1989 in California, USA, produced by the University of Southern California. He was defeated in the 2013 NBA Draft and signed with the Golden State Warriors as a free agent. Since then, he has entered the NBA. He has played for seven teams, namely the Warriors, 76ers, Magic, Spurs, Hawks, Kings, and Heat.

Dwayne Dedmon has excellent rebounding ability and is active in fighting. He is an excellent defensive rebounder. He has strong impact power at the basket and is fierce. He can use his physical advantages to complete the scoring at the basket. He can efficiently complete the cake-eating task in some games. He has a certain three-point shooting ability, is flexible in steps and has strong movement ability. He can participate in the team's defensive rotation well. However, Dedmon lacks the ability to play singles in the inside and has rough low-post skills. The main scoring method depends on eating cake and three-pointers from the outside. He lacks the ability to independently create scoring opportunities. Although his physical condition is good and has a certain ability to protect the frame, his defensive awareness and judgment need to be improved. He is prone to lose position when defending, and sometimes he will foul because of improper defensive choices.

In his ten seasons of NBA career, Dwayne Dedmon played 515 games in the regular season, including 210 starts, averaging 6.2 points, 5.7 rebounds, 0.7 assists, 0.5 steals and 0.8 blocks in 17.3 minutes per game, and played in a total of 31 games in the playoffs, including 3 starts, 9.6 minutes per game, scoring 4.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, 0.4 assists, 0.1 steals and 0.3 blocks.
