    The 13 people that voted "Asik-level good" in the poll. Oh and if you read my post you'd know I was referring to the poll

    Dorsey's about the same size as Paul Millsap and Brandon Bass

    Yeah, he's about the same height as those guys but he has a good 15-20 lbs on them.

    Ok this makes a little sense. So I guess he just relies on Wing span, Vertical jump and Strength?

    Well that's good. Hopefully he'll be good over here... This time around.

    Well he's built like a truck too...so he's big enough to play center, especially now that there aren't many true 7 footers out there with skills. I'm assuming he's got his fouling under control, so his only defensive weakness is lack of a reach, especially while just standing. If he can play Hayes-like though, he can just push/keep guys farther out.

    Joey Dorsey, as always, will only be good for gorilla dunks and picking up hard fouls. If he's the primary backup at any position then we're in trouble.

    Yup, he'd have torn up the Euro leagues as well.

    Emmanuel Davis once won DPoY in a league somewhere far, far away in a time long, long ago...

    The Rockets picked him up.

    The best case scenario for Dorsey IMO is making the same impact Emmanuel Davis did as a Rocket but at a different position.

    In other words, don't expect much.

    From the pre-draft combine:

    Height (No Shoes) - 6' 6.25"
    Wingspan - 7' 1.75"
    Standing Reach - 8' 11"

    LMA can shoot over Shaq and my mom on his shoulders. What's the point? He has the size to move him around and make him work for the entry pass. Defense is more than blocked shots. Also, LMA doesn't get hot like he did for those 3 or 4 games ever again!

    He's our new Chuck Hayes, the incredible shrinking man! How brave of him to play center at ONLY 6'3.75!!
