    Reggie Evans type. Bring him for 10-15 minutes in to gobble up boards and irritate on the defensive end.

    Guys Dorsey has improved dramatically since going over to Europe. He's actually one of the top bigs in Europe last year from a defense & rebounding perspective. Seeing what the market is like for backup bigs in free agency right now, having him on a cheap contract that they can waive at any point makes sense.

    Also- Keep in mind that him and Kostas Paps are teammates or were teammates in Europe. There might be some sort of connection going on there.

    You're one minute behind HMMMHMM, Mikol (I always have a hard time figuring out how many m's go in his moniker!). As for Dorsey, my mind is blown. I didn't see this as even a remote possibility!

    He's rebounding mashine with pretty good defense and I guess he was signed to pair with Donuts while he's playing back-up center. Maybe we won't trade any of our youngsters, and now we in no need for back-up center.

    Is Dorsey following KPap around the world. They played together for Olympiacos, then in Barcelona and now in Houston. International bromance?

    Interesting. He left the NBA being a kid and today after his european tour is a pro.

    At that price is not a bad bet.
