Dorsey is a mental midget- let’s not forget how he called out Greg Oden before Memphis played them last year, then he got demolished.

“Oh yeah,” he said. “I think (scouts) really will be watching this game tomorrow night because it’s two great big men going up against each other. I’m an underrated big man and he’s a lot overrated as a big man.”

Another reporter: Did you just say Greg Oden is overrated? And if so, why?

“I outrebounded him on the season,” Dorsey said. “I’m the No. 6 rebounder in the nation, and I’m trying to move up to No. 1 after this game.”

First of all, Dorsey’s incorrect. He isn’t sixth. He’s 16th

Dorsey had 0 points, 3 boards, and 4 fouls
Oden had 17/9

He has a fiery personality and is obviously a tough dude (very solid rebounder), but the fact of the matter is he is 24 years old already and a sub-40% free throw shooter. I’ll pass. I don’t believe his strengths outweigh his glaring deficiencies.

but you conveniently left these two key parts of his profile out:

Weaknesses: Lacks much of an offensive game … His post skills and shooting touch remain very limited … Doesn’t have a consistent shot and scores mostly on garbage baskets … He’s older than the average senior by 2+ years … An absolutely abysmal free throw shooter at 46% which is actually an improvement from his first two seasons. Needs to further raise this to not be an end of game liability … Also needs to cut down on turnovers (1.7) ... Probably best suited to play center and lacks ideal center height …

Outlook : While his feel for the game and overall skill level is pretty poor for a senior and doesn’t seem to have a great deal of upside, he certainly has some intriguing attributes and can be an NBA contributor by doing the things he does well …

Of course the Warriors need rebounding. Anyone with half a brain can see that. In NO WAY does that make Joey Dorsey ’ a must get player’. You act like Joey Dorsey is some slept on underground rap artist. He was a starter for a FINAL FOUR team. He is a well known player. For me, he is FAR from unfamiliar.

Tell me what is so such much better about Joey Dorsey than a player like Richard Hendrix??? As for the age comment, you made me LOL with that one. When Joey was 22 (the normal age for a senior) he averaged 6 and 7. NBA teams don’t want to draft a player that is 1 or 2 years from their peak unless he was dominating college opponents. Joey did not do that.

I would be fine with it if the Warriors drafted him in the 2nd round. In fact, I would be happy cause I like the guy and we need toughness and rebounding, but be real. It isn’t a guarantee this guy will even make an NBA roster, let alone make a significant impact right away.

...CDR or Brandon Rush. Those two don’t necessarily fill one of our needs, but I think they’re both more sure things than picking a sketchy, question mark big man. We did that the last few years by picking for need and drafting the big men Wright and O’Bryant. Those guys might have filled our need for help at the 4 or 5 but even though we’re still desperate for low post help, look how many minutes per game they’ve been averaging since we’ve drafted them.

I think players who can step in right away and help us as soon as they step onto the court are CDR and Rush. Both are proven winners, good scorers, and decent defenders. Rush can shoot, too, something the Warriors definitely need help in.

Don Nelson is not going to play someone who is a complete non factor on offense. This allows other teams center/big to be a rover and clog up lanes that would normally be for dribble penetration. Dorsey would have to develop a screen roll game and he has neither the footwork nor hands to do that.

Joey Dorsey would be a complete waste or a pick. You can find guys like him in the D-League.

Not really a fan, but Dorsey has really impressed in some workouts. He might even end up a late first-rounder from what I’m hearing. Kudos to him, but I’d pass.

If we can’t get anyone better with our second round pick – I say yes. Maybe he can toughen up some of our down low guys during practices.

Dorsey is exactly who cannot succeed in the NBA- gets by on physical intimidation in college but lack of any real skills will show very quickly in the league. He didn’t show an ounce of offense besides some Derrick Rose alley-oops in any of the games I watched. And he’s short. Perfect example of how NCAA success does not necessarily translate at the next level.

Dorsey isn’t even rated as a 1st round prospect anymore. As a 2nd rounder, if all the W’s expect him to do is clog up the lanes and grab some boards, what more can you ask for? We can’t find the next Monta or Gilbert every year.

Joey D in the 2nd round. What the hell else are 2nd rounders for besides rolling the dice and seeing if you come up lucky? Worst case scenario, he’s a sleeper. Sleeping on the bench next to Marco.

Marreese Speights is the guy the warriors should draft. He has a nba body who can rebound and can score some points. He has a Emeka Okafer type body. He would be great off the bench and would bring a lot of energy. He has a mid range shot and can put a lot of put backs. He’s seems nba ready. He had a good coach and good program in florida. I know a couple of the guys here have been talking about him.
