PG • 5’11, 183 lbs; 14th year, Texas
SALTY DOG
NBA ROLE: (VETERAN) SCORING POINT GUARD
Whether it’s a marquee role or limited minutes, DJ Augustin usually brings a loaded set of tools to the table; an undersized PG, DJ’s a bold lane-driver – reliable float game (great at creating space), can find open teammates after penetrating; thrives outta the PnR – good command, makes sound reads, can score from midrange, shoots the three ball at a great clip (career: 38%) to keep defenders honest (especially when aided by a screen); clutch shot-maker – very confident if needed to produce late; much like other sub-6’3 points, DJ struggles to defend his position, takes some difficult shots; landed w/ Lakers (2022) – veteran offensive boost
