It’s been only a few months since Tyler Dorsey had the basketball world’s full attention. The 6-foot-4 combo guard from Oregon caught fire at the start of the postseason and didn’t show any sign of slowing down until the Ducks’ season met its bitter end in the Final Four. This hot streak came at the perfect time for Dorsey, as his regular season stats were below expectations, and he wasn’t on any draft boards until after the NCAA Tournament. Instead, his big-time performance was enough for the Atlanta Hawks to take him with the 41st pick.
Dorsey will have the opportunity to fill a positional need for the Hawks.
