When DJ Augustin was signed late this season by the Lakers, few expected him to have any sort of impact on the season, let alone one as positive as he did over the team’s final 21 games. Augustin stepped in and provided the team a consistent shooting threat from the point guard position, a luxury the team didn’t have at any point of the season.
It came despite Augustin being in his 34 years old in his 14th season and coming off a multi-week layoff after being waived by the Rockets. His previous time under then-head coach Frank Vogel allowed him to contribute from day one and his positive experience overall has him interested in a reunion this summer.
