Watch former Gamecock PJ Dozier throw down dunks, put up stats in big night
Former South Carolina basketball star PJ Dozier has yet to make it on an NBA court after leaving the Gamecocks following last season’s Final Four run.
But Monday night, he was doing some damage for his G-League team.
Dozier threw down at least three dunks on the way to a season-high 26 points for the Oklahoma City Blue. He added nine rebounds and a pair of assists in a 100-95 win against the South Bay Lakers.

Dozier is currently a two-way player for the Oklahoma City Thunder. He’s averaging 11.9 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 27.1 minutes a game in the G-League. He has started 27 of the 32 games his team has played.
In his final season at South Carolina, the 6-foot-6 guard was a key cog in one of the best teams in program history. He was second on the team in scoring (13.9 points per game) and assists (2.8 per game) and third in minutes (28.7), helping lead USC to its first Final Four.
The Columbia native went to the draft after the season. He was a McDonald's All-American in high school.
