P.J. Dozier admitted to feeling tired. Such is life when cramming a 6-foot-7 frame into an airplane seat and flitting across the country like a giant waterbug.
But his physique – specifically, his back – is feeling fine, as is his jump shot.
“I’ve been training down in Santa Barbara (Calif.),” Dozier said at a pre-NBA Draft workout with the Charlotte Hornets on Tuesday. “I think they kind of altered my shot a little bit as the pain was going on, but I don’t think it really affected me too, too much.”
Dozier’s stock has been rising since he was considered a “maybe” after he first declared, and the former South Carolina sophomore point guard now looks to be a definite pick in the June 22 draft.
