The 24-year-old's season was somewhat injury-filled, but he also showed signs of improvement as well. Dozier was forced to miss 15 games early in the season due to a hamstring injury, but the 6-foot-6 guard returned to his role as a reserve guard for the team. However, that role completely changed when Jamal Murray went down with his ACL injury. After averaging 6.8 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 19.8 minutes per game prior to the injury, Dozier saw his playing time and scoring rocket up. The South Carolina product averaged 11.0 points in 28.5 minutes per game while starting in his last six appearances with the team before going down with a groin injury. This injury kept Dozier out for the rest of the season, but the guard should be ready for the new year. While Jamal Murray will most likely be sidelined to start the year, Dozier still faces lots of competition for playing time. Players like Monte Morris, Will Barton, Austin Rivers and Facundo Campazzo will be vying for minutes in the absence of Murray. The team also has youth talent in Markus Howard and Nah'Shon "Bones" Hyland at guard. The team's impressive depth at guard and Dozier's inconsistent play make him one of the harder players to trust this year in fantasy formats.
