The Oregon Ducks saw success with shooting guard Tyler Dorsey on the floor. He proved to be an efficient sharpshooter from the behind the arc and wowed fans with his range. Now he hopes that can put him ahead of others in this year’s NBA Draft.

Dorsey is a young guard with a lot of upside, something the Sixers always look at. While also showing the ability to fill it up rather quickly, he also has shown the knack for getting to the free throw line.

He averaged 14.6 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game in two seasons at Oregon. He scored 27 points and made six three-pointers in the Ducks’ 74-60 victory over Kansas in the NCAA Tournament.

They 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 in 2016-17. 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 but he’ll need to put on some more muscle as he weighs just 180 pounds.

Dorsey has a confidence that’s hard to ignore. If other options aren’t available, he could be a player worth the gamble for Philadelphia.
