5. Tyler Dorsey, SG, Oregon
Tyler Dorsey is a shooting guard who can fill it up quickly. He proved as much with the Oregon Ducks this past season, as they finished with a 33-6 record. Now he looks to use his unlimited range to earn a spot on a roster in this year’s NBA Draft.
Dorsey is a young guard with a lot of potential, especially on either wing. He averaged 14.6 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game in two seasons at Oregon.
He scored 27 points, including six three-pointers, in the Ducks’ 74-60 victory over Kansas in the NCAA Tournament. The Ducks lost by a point in the Final Four to the North Carolina Tar Heels, but Dorsey still managed to score a team-high 21 points with three three-pointers and 12 made free throws.
Dorsey shot 42.3 percent from three-point land, a stat sure to intrigue Washington’s front office. He is a player who can get hot in a hurry and make teams pay if they leave him open.
He’s got size at 6-foot-4 and also a confidence that’s hard to ignore, but he’ll need to put on more muscle as he weighs just 180 pounds. If other options aren’t on the table, he could be a player worth a look for the Wizards.
