Joey Dorsey Report
 

Joey Dorsey is 6’9, 260 pounds, and is a senior at Memphis. He has a lot of strength and has his way with smaller opponents.

He is an excellent rebounder and shot blocker, and he plays solid defense as well. He always gives a tough battle in the paint, with his aggressiveness and physical style of play. He has good length and good leaping abilities, and he is a massive dunker. Joey has good athleticism, he has some explosiveness, and he runs the floor well. He is the type of player that does all the little things to be the difference maker on his team. He has a nice effective drop-step move that he is able to score with sometimes.

But for the most part he doesn’t have much offensive skill, and most of his points come from put backs and layups (which he also misses sometimes). Joey’s shooting skills from the field and free throw line are below average. He gets into foul trouble, and he is turnover prone. He doesn’t have very good lateral quickness. Joey is older than your average college senior, and his upside looks to be very limited, what you see is what you get from him. He has made some minor improvements on a couple of weaknesses, but it’s still not close enough to where a lot of his production should be.

Joey does have a few good skills to be a contributing role-player in the NBA. A funny thing about Joey is how he likes to talk a lot of junk, but his yard is not big enough to fill it with, so he usually ends up looking silly for a statement he said. As a best case scenario Joey could be a Ben Wallace type player, as a worst case Reggie Evans.

I can see him being a Paul Millsap, but I dont think he will develop as fast or be as good as millsap will be. I like him and his work ethic, hope he goes fast. .

in couple years he could turn into a dwight howard type of player.,because of his athleticism and size. i think a lot of nba teams would draft him in the first round. .

Joey Dorsey is decent but nothing to brag about. He thinks he’s better than what he really is, that’s why he looks dumb when he makes statements he can’t back up. He does have similarities with Big Ben, but I don’t think he is as good, it would be nice to see. But to me if I was a team I wouldn’t draft him too high, I would say 45 or later is their best bet to take him .

I’ve only heard of his name a few times, but he sounds like a late second rounder at best. He may not even get drafted and have to get on a team by being a walk-on free agent. I’m sure an nba team could use some of the tools he has, but I’m not sure if a team will make it a priority to draft him and have him on their team .

Joey is a solid role player, and he really does do the little things that make a big difference in a game. I like his style, I wish he could improve on some things because he can be a liability. I also wish he wouldn’t talk so much trash if he can’t back it up. But I do support him and hope he is successful at the next level .

I think Joey has Reggie Evans written all over him .
