How easy that is to fix, if I'm even right about that, is uncertain to me. The release point looks good and he doesn't seem to be throwing it at the rim like some do with decent looking form. He definitely looks the part of an NBA SG and has the agility and smoothness. Even more alluring his his defense and ability to get steals/deflections. I just have a sneaking suspicion that the Sixers like him. Could be wrong though.
first time i saw dozier, his shooting form looked so clean, that was one of the first things that jumped out at me. I bet the Spurs grab him, and fix whatever minor issues he has with his jump shot.
“I’m very opinionated when it comes to shooting. I feel like if I see somebody shoot three or four times and just watch their form, their footwork, their preparation, you form a pretty quick opinion. It takes you about a second to look at their stats, and it helps you validate what you think, or contradict what you think. But shooters really are what’s most on my mind.”
Brown is also a believer that the high-stakes stage of March provides an additional glimpse into the make-up, the DNA of a pro prospect.
“The rules change in the NCAA playoffs, just like they do in the NBA playoffs,” he said. “That stage, that limelight, that one-and-done sort of death-wish, how it’s set up, there’s pressure on a lot of 19, 18 year old kids’ shoulders. For that reason, as much as anything, you for sure pay attention.”
Brett said this right after the Sweet Sixteen (March 15th). Dozier, despite shooting like garbage, and Thornwell were just about to take on UF the next day. A game they would end up winning.
“I’m assuming by now, most of the room would say, ‘You are defense, pace, and space,’” Brown said. “We’re going to guard in the city of Philadelphia, we’re going to run, and we’re going to embrace the three-point line. And so if that remains to be true and it will, it should lead us in a draft, it should lead us in a free-agent decision, and it certainly leads us with [roster decisions].
“You don’t have to tick all three [boxes], you better go two for three or have the ability to move into that area in a very clear way,” he later added.
So if Brett has anything to do with this draft process, I do think he'd be intrigued by Dozier.
