I still think he would play 20+ minutes a night next year no matter who is all back, but if he wants to be THE GUY, and take a lot of shots, it wouldn't shock me if he doesn't see this as the place where he can do that.
IDK, he is a tiny fella, stuck backing up Mason who is going to get a ton of mins, with McBrayer showing he can play the 1 and 2 I don't see how Dorsey can get 20mins.
If he can help them play fast and shut down the other point guard, he can get 20 minutes of PT.
Basically I see a 3-way (pun kind of intended) rotation at the PG and SG slots. Mason gets 28-32 mins, Dupree gets 22-25 mins, Dorsey gets 18-22 mins.
Rough idea on minutes --- very subject to change
PG: Mason 30, Dorsey 10
SG: Dupree 24, Dorsey 10, Coffey 6
SF: Coffey 22, Fitz 18
PF: Murphy 24, Fitz 6, Buggs/Gilbert 10
C: Lynch 23, Konate 12, Murphy 5
PG Mason 20 Dorsey 20
SG McBrayer 25 Mason 10 Coffey 5
SF Coffey 15 Fitz 15 Hurt 10
PF Murphy 30 Fitz 5 Curry 5
C Lynch 23 Konate 12 Curry 5
I left out Buggs and Gilbert but there are possible roles for them depending on what happens. If I were Pitino- I'd give Buggs the Mo Walker speech- here's what you have to do to get on the court at all. Muscle up, toughen up and learn to play center and PF. I could see the possibility of redshirting Konate if Buggs got serious- otherwise I think Buggs goes the graduate transfer route. Konate needs a redshirt year IMO and that would balance the roster better at the center position.
Gilbert could take Hurt's minutes if they decide to redshirt Hurt. I think they need what Hurt will bring to the table next year so I doubt that happens. Gilbert is another guy that cold use the redshirt - he has the potential to be a nice 6th man shooter down the line and a good defender, but for now he's pretty rough around the edges.
Gaston- he should transfer to somewhere where he can play some ball.
NBA look? I suppose we could tell him that??? Maybe he could play in the Pacific rim somewhere or Mideast. Forget even Europe for him. He might be a starter for a Winona State level team and I think that isn't even a sure thing.This seems about right. Buggs should really transfer too. If can go down to DII and play major minutes, he could get an NBA look. That won't happen playing 5 minutes a game here next year.

The announcers must have been drunk. I don't think he is on any scout's radar today. Maybe I'm wrong but with all the minutes available late this year and how he couldn't take advantage of it says it all. He's not 17 or 19 years old, he is what he is.When the Gophers were in the non-conference tournament this year the announcers said that Buggs was drawing the interest of NBA guys in attendance. He has that talent. Unfortunately.....

Good news! Dorsey is back twittering.
WCCO just reported that police confirmed Dorsey's phone was stolen, at Mall of America, which was before the videos were posted.

Haven't heard this from anywhere else. This really true?
