Joey Dorsey is a beast....

I was worried about that gap we had at the center position but after watching that video of him working out and trying to give his all, I think that he would be the solution to that problem…if he keeps practicing hard and watches that fascitis, I think the Rockets will benefit greatly from his return. I like the way he wants to learn from Scola and Hayes. It shows that he has the passion and drive to return and make the difference that he was supposed to make when he was drafted. Keep doing your thing Joey Dorsey and hopefully we’ll see you in a Rockets jersey next season healthy and ready to go!
