With the 41st pick in Thursday's NBA draft, the Atlanta Hawks selected Oregon's Tyler Dorsey.

The 21-year-old shooting guard doesn't have one particularly dominant skill on offense, but does everything fairly well across the board. Dorsey can shoot with the best of them, whether it's from the perimeter or off the dribble, and takes smart shots when the ball is in his hands.

Playing at the two-spot in the NBA will require him to get stronger, as being 180 pounds will limit his usefulness, especially on defense, when you factor in that his wingspan (6-foot-3-and-a-half) is actually shorter than his height in shoes (6-foot-4).
