P.J. Dozier, South Carolina

Dozier is a 6’6, 200-pound point guard with a 6’11 wingspan. He is an above average athlete with great size. Dozier has the potential to be a capable offensive player, but his defense is what will earn him minutes in the NBA.

He averaged 13.9 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 1.7 steals last season.

There are varying opinions on Dozier. I’ve seen Dozier projected to go as low as no. 50 to the Philadelphia 76ers, but most projections have him going early-to-mid second round. SportingNews.com, however, projects him to go no. 26 to the Portland Trailblazers.
