Dorsey looks good. He can be this team's backup center.

Thanks for the video. That was a great interview and it gave me a better perspective on Dorsey. Very impressed with his humility as well as his motivation to re-establish himself as a basketball player. He also looks dedicated, hard-working, and mature.

I would like to see him play in the upcoming season. Hopefully he'll be ready by then.

I'm really impressed with Dorsey and his commitment to improving on the defensive end first. Just the fact that he stayed here for the off season is impressive enough. I know he's got the potential. Baltimore is a hot-bed for basketball talent, but for some reason it still remains under the radar.

Next off-season, I would like to see him work with Charles Barkley. Barkley is one of, if not the, greatest short PF in the history of the game. Not to mention, he's a former Rocket (although he doesn't identify himself with us). Therefor, I think there is a lot that Dorsey could learn on the offensive end from someone who was in his specific predicament, yet played it as well as anyone.

ya good that dorsey staying w/ the team next season. he has great potential, and w/ him at center houston can have a legit small ball lineup.

team had problems w/ young, fast, athletic bigs. w/ dorsey those problems can go away

. if it werent for that daam injury he could be more than ready to backup next season. prolly take the starting pf spot in 2010. if not then he's a legit backup center/forward.

He'll get his chance, and he can provide something for this team, some toughness in the paint defensively, one that can rebound, and at worst finish well on offense so he's not a huge liability.

He looks like a nice guy, and he has alot of heart and dedication to the team, but I'd rather have Chuck Hayes have the garbage bigman minutes than this guy. He has potential, but maybe in 1 or 2 years he can contribute. I agree we should give him some run next year though to see what we have.
