His major weakness is sucking as a freethrow shooter. He really sucks at it. I guess since Hayes sucks at it too, Morey figured Dorsey's other attributes that Chuck doesn't possess will make up for equal FT suckiness.
I guess Dorsey is an upgraded version of chuck Hayes and Greene is our backup SF C: Yao/Deke PF: Scola/Landry/Dorsey SF: Battier/Greene/Novak SG: Tmac/Head/Francis PG: Alston/Bjax/brooks Looks like Bobby Jackson, Luther Head, Chuck Hayes will be our trade bait
No one's gonna take Luther Head and Chuck Hayes tho... noooo one... we should just keep BJ around if no one wants his expiring contract, he's good for 20 point explosions every now and then.
Statistically speaking, Dorsey projects much better than Greene, at least to step in and help right away. Again, it's just statistics, so take it for what it's worth to you.
I never liked Win Score Analysis for projecting college players... it seems like regression analysis make more sense... Here's a statistical analysis that projects Donte Greene very well http://www.hoopsanalyst.com/0708ew17.htm
I just hope Morey knows what he is doing, so far I am dumbfounded. The team seems to me to need so much more, possibly through trades.
There's a disclaimer on the Win Score ratings that says it doesn't really correlate well to college players. But independent of the Win Score ratings, Greene doesn't stack up very well. I hope I'm wrong.
Greene is no more NBA ready than Batum. Greene was my very first choice when I started looking at thisdraft class so I am happy. Hopefully Dorsey can be our banger against Boozer. Overall pretty good draft. Just hope we dont regret letting Batum go like Gay.
My assessment? Starting at Center for the Rio Grande Vipers....Joey Dorsey and at Small forward Donte Greene. Out of the two, Dorsey is more NBA ready, Greene is a major project... DD
He probably can't understand why some people can't dunk the ball Some people just can't shoot the ball...
What were you expecting from #25? This is all a snooze. What gets done on 'the big league level' will count next Spring.
It's ok DD - IF we kept pick 54 we got your kind of guy there! http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Maarty-Leunen-476/ Greene is along the lines of what we're looking for. In Morey's words: you've got to decide what you'r going to sacrifice: experience seems to be it. Greene has major ability to play the game of basketball. He won't be the focal point of the offense when he makes the step up to the Rockets. I think I probably would start him at SF for the Vipers for at least the first month - it worked out well for Brooks and Novak last season.
