Not to be a spoilsport or anything but in the spirit of this bet, he actually should average 10 boards in preseason since he already demonstrated that he can do it. Saying that he could be an exceptional talent like Ian Mahinmi but just not quite NBA ready. Still think he's going to the NBDL.
I'm still in I just think that instead of the stipulation that he score 10 pts in one game that he score 10 ppg for the entire preseason and make the team. But I'll leave that up to you guys for fairness since he already got 14 boards in his first game.
what? Deal is he grabs 10 boards in a preseason game and makes final roster. dont back out now... thats really weak
What a minute, what? He didn't average 10 ppg in college and you want him to do it in the NBA? It's not preseason yet. So that 14 rebounds doesn't count.
He can't be considered the best big man in the last 20 years, if he hasn't even played against NBA talent. He has to prove that he can play better than Shaq, Duncan, Yao Ming, Kevin Garnett, Dwight Howard, Amare Stoudemire, Carlos Boozer and Dirk Nowitski. I can humor you. Yes, these guys suck compared to Oden.
Fine, 10 rebounds it is. No futher stipulation. However, I still think it's a good bet. Loaded Rockets team is like a loaded Spurs team. Mahinmi had to go down and play in the D league so I think it'll be the same for Dorsey. If he played for the Grizzlies or T-wolves yeah he'd make the team but not on a loaded Rockets squad.
Uhhh no, if he gets sent to the D-League he's out. C'mon lets not get all technical about this. He's either on the roster ready to play when the season begins or he's not.
If u guys want to bet, u guys should clarify that 10 rebounds is per 36 minutes or any playtime. It's because Dorsey may not get too much playtime in preseason games. Otherwise, u guys may argue about the outcome.
Dorsey is a beast, I mean he's rebounding ratio is so high it isn't even funny. And 80% FG in the SL? I mean who does that? This is nuts.
Morey got another Landry in this draft, and his name is Joey Dorsey. Look at his eff rating. Good god!
He will get a high FG percentage because of his dunks,he will rebound,but he will have problems staying on the court because of quick foul trouble.Landry will always be a better scorer than him,but Dorsey will be a better defender.
i agree with you saleem, he will struggle with fouls but you know he is gonna give you what he has got while he is on the floor. its called heart some rockets should really look at the passion he plays with and follow.
