The former Hawks Grizzlies still performed mediocrely in the backcourt. Isn t he a tough player?

In the previous 4th round of the Group C group stage of the Men's Basketball European Championship, Bosnia and Herzegovina unexpectedly defeated Giannis Antetokounmpo, which lacked Giannis Antetokounmpo, 80-77. After this game, although the Greek team's record dropped to 3 wins and 1 loss, they have already achieved qualifying early; while the Bosnia and Herzegovina's record dropped to 2 wins and 2 losses, and whether they can qualify smoothly is still a question mark.

In this game, the performance of Greece's starter Tyler Dorsey is still very average. Dorsey played 28 minutes and 36 seconds in the whole game, made 5 of 14 shots and 4 of 10 from outside the three-point line, scored 14 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, and had 4 turnovers and 2 fouls, with a plus-minus value of +3. Considering that Giannis missed this game, Dorsey should have undertaken more scoring and organizational tasks and plays out his offensive characteristics. However, Dorsey's performance on the court was obviously very average. His offensive efficiency was still not ideal, and he still did not have the effect when he held a large number of mobile phones in his hand. Dorsey also made many mistakes, wasting a lot of ball rights, and his performance on the defensive end was not ideal. Dorsey is not a defensive player, and his role on the defensive end is also very limited. Dorsey's performance was indeed very disappointing when neither offense nor defense played a role.

Since the start of the European Championship, Dorsey has averaged 25 minutes of playing time in the first four games, with averaging 13 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 0.5 steals and 0.3 blocks, 2 turnovers and 1 foul, with a shooting percentage of 41.5%, a three-point shooting percentage of 42.9%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 85.7%, with a plus-negative average of +10. Dorsey performed well in the previous two games against Cyprus and Georgia, which was absent from the core players, and its offensive efficiency was stable. However, in the match against Italy and in this game against Bosnia and Herzegovina, Dorsey's performance has declined significantly, and his performance is also unsatisfactory, which also shows that he is not a player who can play tough battles. Overall, as a former NBA player, Dorsey's performance is not ideal, and he has not played the role or effect he should have.

Doxi was born in February 1996. He is 29 years old, 196cm tall and weighs 83kg. He is the 41st pick in the second round of the Atlanta Hawks in the 2017 NBA Draft. In addition to the Hawks, Dorsey has also played for the Memphis Grizzlies and the Dallas Mavericks, and is also a player with more NBA experience. In addition, Dorsey is at his peak age, so he should be the best helper around Giannis, but he has not fully achieved the effect he should have in the European Championships so far. The Greek team will also meet stronger opponents in the future. If Dorsey can only perform like this, the Greek team's prospects will not be optimistic.
