#35 P.J. Dozier, Guard

“Oh yeah! The guy who requested to wear the number 35, and got it!” That has been Dozier’s career highlight to this point. However, as I wrote in my OKC Thunder Summer League preview article, Dozier has the chance to be the love story of Thunder fans.

At 21-years-old Dozier played in 43 G-league games in his rookie year, starting in 38 of them. Dozier shot 46-percent from the field, and just 33-percent from 3. Averaging a touch over a steal a game last season, Dozier showed an ability to jump the passing lanes. As a point guard, Dozier hauled in 5-rebounds per contest, on 13 points a game.
