Not blaming Dorsey at all because as a 6'4 PG he'd be way more attractive and rare than as a SG. This is common issue nowadays for ballers with his height and skill level. I believe Shawn Livingston is the last person I recall that's actually pulled it off as a successful path to the league though.

Michael Carter-Williams from Syracuse was quite successful winning ROY in the nba as 6'6 pg. Kyle Anderson was a 6'9 PG for UCLA last year.

MCW after 1 season is considered a successful PG, really? Not saying he didn't look fantastic, but its 1 season on a horrible team. I remember when Tyreke Evans (6'6ish) won ROY playing PG for Sacramento, but he hasn't lasted as at the point since more like a SG now & a damn good one. Anyway you sound like you should know what I mean, it's hard af to be a "big" PG because you have to guard small PG's and that may be the deepest position in the NBA. Who is Kyle "SloMo" Anderson going to guard at the PG position next year?

The 6-foot-4 St. John Bosco (Calif.) product is known more as a scorer than a distributor at this point, given his ability to get his own shot and make plays with the ball in his hands. It was more of the same at the NBPA Top 100 camp, as he was making shots in the mid-range and getting to the rim consistently.

Dorsey doesn't deny the score-first ability right now, but he seems his future at the one.

“I feel like that's my best position at the next level,” he said. “I have to build those skills and attributes to be able to play that in the NBA. You see the guards in the NBA, most of them are score-first, but also can make the right basketball play. Russell [Westbrook], Damian Lillard. I call them lead guards. That's probably my best position.”

Since the decommitment, a long list of schools have made contact. Oregon, Oregon State, Stanford, California, Arizona State, Georgetown, Kansas, Louisville, Missouri, Florida, and Tulsa are among the schools that have reached out.

“After the AAU season, I might cut my list a little bit,” Dorsey said. “I have no set plans or dates to do anything.”

He's ranked as the No. 12 player in the 247Sports Composite for the class of 2015.
