P.J. Dozier is coming off a strong season where he and Sindarius Thornwell helped lead the Gamecocks to their first ever Final Four appearance. Dozier is a do it all type of player and would frequently be the primary creator/playmaker for the Gamecocks. He has good size and length for both the PG/SG positions and is a good enough ball handler to play some PG mins in the NBA. He has a good BBIQ and knows how to use his body and change speeds to get open looks. He is solid in P/R situations and uses some of his craftiness to get to the basket or find the open roll man. He rebounds, scores, and passes well and is a hard worker/high character player. Dozier, however, is a decent athlete, he lacks some explosiveness and burst to blow past defenders and will likely need to use screen or back cuts to be an efficient scorer in the NBA. He needs to work on his creating moves as they are somewhat basic up to this point, and he needs to improve as an overall shooter. He has potential, but there are some mechanical issues that may need to be tweaked. Overall Dozier has good versatility and may be one of the better picks in the 2nd round.
