Mini-Dwight!!!

I like Dorsey, but there is absolutely no place for him on our roster as constructed.

I'm glad for him. Hard worker. If he had 2 more inches he'd probably still be in the NBA

Greek Basket League. It means he was named the Best Defender in the Greek League. That's actually a very good award to win. Because the Greek League is the most defense oriented and physical oriented pro league in the world.

oh it was no fluke from my side, been watching a fair amount of YT interviews of his lately. agreed that the perceptive abilities had to be on top to identify out of that image.
Welles was a Maverick, a very interesting being.
(ironically haven't watched any of his own work other than the trailer for his supposedly best motion picture. Have however watched him in the Tesla movie where he played J.P. Morgan)

/apologies for the off

Good for Joey I was a fan of his. He put in work and brought his lunch pail to each and every game. I could see him back with the Raps as a 14th or 15th man on the Raps if we make some moves depending on where Alabi and Gray go/end up.
