Why dont we give Joey Dorsey a shot? 

Post#1 » by Golpe de Estado » Thu Nov 5, 2009 3:09 pm

I really like this kid and he has potential. He is a huge body who can bang and get rebounds. Is he not in good form or something?

Because Morey is thrifty and doesn't want to give away million dollars of gorilla dunk bonuses every game.

I keep hearing that he is not all that into the practices, and that kind of showed in the preseason.

If someone has an "on switch" for that guy's head, please flip it because he could be a beast if he starts playing up to his potential.

He isnt ready. Pops came in and leap frogged him for his position. He may have all the tools to be a ben wallace type but he isn't smart at all. I dot think he will ever put it together.. This might actually be a strike on Morey's record.

^More like a foul ball. It was a smart pick for a second rounder. Could blossom but second rounders are never guaranteed to be good in the NBA. He'd be playing if Adelman felt he could contribute. He obviously can't. Send him to the D-League for pt.

pops outplayed him in preseason. i really want dorsey to get minutes but its a good bet he'll barely get garbage time minutes this year. i like how the team is keeping him, maybe he'll be ready next year? its too bad, he could be a huge help this season, even if he's ready next year, there's yao, scola, landry, hayes, and andersen. unless yao's minutes go down to 29, i dont see how he'll ever get any significant playin time :( . daam shame, good to have in case of injuries tho :)

I wanted either DeAndre Jordan or Kyle Weaver. But Dorsey was supposed to be ready to play D at least and was a 4yr player which Morey likes. But...

Because his head coach said at end of Preseason that Dorsey did't know where to go on either offense or defense. Adelman has shown he'll play rookies,if he won't play Dorsey...
