Let's begin with a philosophical question: If we all know he will be a sleeper, is he still a sleeper?
We know JOEY DORSEY is gonna be a player in this league. Time and again, we have seen how pogo-sticks like Dorsey can make a difference on a team. We know he'll be a fan favorite and a web-darling. We know that any team that drafts him will feel blessed that he fell that far. At worst, an energy guy off the bench and an alley-oop machine. At best, a defensive stopper and an alley-oop machine.
And yet, the best draft analysts around rate him as no better than a second round pick.
Chad Ford: 45.
NBADraft.net: 39.
DraftExpress: 47
Remind me again why you pick another undersized shooting guard, a big man "project", or DJ Augustine over Dorsey?

Because, At worst, an energy guy off the bench and an alley-oop machine. At best, a defensive stopper and an alley-oop machine. You have the chance of developing something more than that with Augustin or a project. Dorsey is going to be Maxiell, which is good.
