per Amelia:
The biggest beneficiary of that shakeup in terms of opportunity will likely be freshman reserve Kevin Dorsey.
The 6-foot, 175-pound guard is averaging 6.6 points in 17.5 minutes on the year but has stood out in bigger chances lately. In the last four games, Dorsey has played 21.5 minutes a game and averaged 15.3 points a game, including a career-high 21 points at Indiana when Morris missed a game due to the funeral of a family friend in Florida. Only five of his 32 turnovers on the season have come in the last seven games.
Dorsey's speed can change a game with his ability to push the pace and get by most opponents. The problem is, his lack of length can halt his momentum at the rim if he's not careful about the chances he takes.
"He's still got to stop getting his shot blocked so much," Pitino said. "He's driving into the trees a little too much ...but he's getting more stable. He's turning the ball over less."
