It s hard to return to the NBA! The Timberwolves abandoned player is expected to stay in the European arena next season?

According to European media Eurohoops reporter Aris Barkas, veteran backcourt player PJ Dozier, who has played for seven seasons in the NBA, is currently having in-depth exchanges with Israeli league team Hapoel Tel Aviv. Dozier played for the Minnesota Timberwolves in the first half of the season, but he only played nine times in total, and only played 35 minutes in total. After being terminated by the Timberwolves, Dozier joined Turkish League giant Anadolu Efes, and he is currently participating in the Turkish League playoffs with the team. Anadolu Efes actually hopes to continue to retain Dozier next season, but it seems that they will face fierce competition.

played a total of 9 games in the NBA regular season this season, with only 3.9 minutes per game, averaging 0.8 points, 0.6 rebounds, 0.1 assists and 0.1 steals, 0.1 turnovers and 0.3 fouls, shooting percentage of 66.7%, three-point shooting percentage and 16.7% from free throws. Dozier's NBA game time this season is very limited, almost always appearing in garbage time, which also leads to his inability to exert his ability. He cannot exert his role on both offense and defense, and his effect on the court is also not ideal. Therefore, Dozier was cut by the Timberwolves in December last year.

In the European arena this season, Dozier played 31 games in all competitions, averaging 17.9 minutes per game, averaging 7.6 points, 2.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.2 blocks, and 1.3 turnovers and 2.4 fouls. He shot 46%, three-point shooting percentage 40%, and free throw shooting percentage 81.4%. Dozier has performed quite well in the European arena. Although he has limited playing time, his role in both offense and defense is very obvious. He has excellent offensive efficiency and excellent three-point shooting percentage on the offensive end. He also has certain passing ability and organizational ability, and he is also an excellent defender on the defensive end. In the European arena, Dozier is simply a top 3D player, and in the Champions League, his performance is even higher than that in the Turkish League.

Dozier's performance in the European arena will obviously attract the attention of European teams, which is also very normal. It seems that Dozier will continue to stay in the European arena next season, and the possibility of his return to the NBA is getting smaller and smaller. After all, the Timberwolves' basketball operations director is Tim Connelly, who has had a long-term cooperation experience with him. Even with Connelly, Dozier has no way to keep his contract. He may be really not suitable to continue to stay in the NBA arena.
