I wanted AJ Lawson but the Mavs seem to think Dorsey is a just as good or better prospect.
Dorsey's motivation makes perfect sense as well. I've seen several people confused about why he would turn down contracts in Europe to sign a 2 way here and I don't understand why. It seems pretty obvious to me: he wants to play in the NBA again. This is his shot to get back in and prove he belongs. He obviously doesn't think he'll "be g-league player & a cheerleader from the bench at the best". He is betting on himself that he will outplay the 2 way contract and earn himself a good payday in the NBA. It's pretty simple IMO.
I think is more of a scorer than a 3&D wing. Also people were expecting at least some at least notable name, not 4-5 best player in Olympiacos last season.
I agree with Dorsey motivation, i'm only more sceptical about quality than motivation.
If he isn't g-league player or cheerleader that also mean that we aren't getting any player as a backup pg.
That's what concerns me more. And then we already passed on a way better players than Dorsey imo.
