Magic and Pelinka sign undrafted Sophomore, 6'6" SG PJ Dozier out of South Carolina.

who? (looks him up)

Can't blame the frontoffice for not working hard enough. They've been on the mark in draft night.

Well I guess someone has to start at sg now that we traded ours away for a center and then drafted two more big men

I'd rather they work less... like a lot less... like 0 minutes and quit before they ruin everything.

worth having a look at him.

Decent defender but not enamoured with him either. Not the best shooter in the world but is athletic.

Sweet. another rookie to get overly hyped about in summer league. Go Ball/Kuzma/Hart/Bryant/Dozier

Like a real deal? Or summer + training camp invite type thing? He was very bad last season, to be honest. 39-137 3P 28.5%... like you can't shoot them, so stop! Really poor 91.4 ORtg against Tier A college teams. .597 from the FT line. Iman Shumpert type of player.

PJ was considered a late first to mid second round pick candidate. He struggles with the shot at SC and only shot 55% from the FT line. He also shot less than 30% from 3. That said, he is long at 6'6" combo guard. He is athletic and is known as a strong defender able to guard both PG and SG plus SF position. If he can knock down the jumper or learn to shoot the 3, then we have a capable bench player for the Lakers. Good pickup.

FO continues to mold the team into defensive minded, hustle players. I like that.

I was looking if his agent Kevin Bradbury had any big name clients we are greasing the wheels for but he has none.

I dunno. I mean, his name doesn't really sit well with me.
I mean..
Does he doze off a lot?
He must be sleepin if he's in his jammies all the time..
I mean, look at his name, he's PJ.

But welcome dude.

Again, PJ has to work on his jump shots but he has a ton of potential at 6'6". He plays hard and have long arms with his athleticism. The kid could be a mix of Nance with Cooper. PJ improved on his FTs from 55 to 60% from freshman to sophomore year but that needs to be in the mid 70s. That said, he could be a great defender and slasher type for us. Solid potential and candidate for the 2 way contract.

Lots to like in the video...
