If he's 12, PG_AB will want to watch him play. Please send him videos.
Yuck
Worse than Rubio? And at half the price? Apparently he's a good defender and his shooting looks solid the last 3 years.
Augustin is a backup.Yuck to a 61.5+% TS% the last two years including 43.1% and 41.9% from 3 but let’s go get Cory Joseph lmfao.
Lmao.
He’s started every game for the Magic this year. Cory Joseph hasn’t started one.
The Magic. Ok.Lmao.

The fact he is starting tells you a lot about the Magic. DJ is a decent player but no starting material, especially at this point in his career.
The Magic suck on the wings, Gordon’s been kind of meh, and he’s got them at just under .500. Probably the best they’ve been in a long time tbh. I’m not saying he’s solely why by any means. Vuc is playing awesome. But listen, as a stop gap for a year or two at the absolute most, you could do a lot worse. Dude has near elite shooting numbers and a 5:2 A:T ratio.
The Magic have been bad (not terribly bad) in probably the weakest EC in years. The reason for marginal improvement? Vucevic, Clifford and solid contributions from their bench (Ross). Still bad though. DJ as a backup? that's fine. Our starter for 1 or 2 years? Please no.

Even Lowe wrote this last month about DJ:
Their point guard situation is a sinkhole. No one could have seen this coming. Orlando cannot expect any more from D.J. Augustin. He's shooting 41 percent from deep and taking care of the ball; on some nights, the Augustin-Nikola Vucevic pick-and-roll is Orlando's only reliable source of offense.I just don't see him as starting material, just a boost to our bench
But Augustin can't consistently prod beyond the foul line. He's a nice backup point guard. The Magic are asking him to be a heavy-minutes starter.
In the previous post, I put my ideal situation and roster core. Maybe we could acquire DJ for Sef’s expiring and a 2nd.
Doubtful. But maybe. And we may not even want to if Sef starts to look better and better over the next month. But this would give us more shooting (guardswise, Rubio and Exum are both super shaky here, and Mitchell isn’t efficient either) and lineup flexibility as well as insurance should Rubio get injured again.
I think a move like that could be ok. We could always welcome more playmaking/shooting. However, the Jazz may not want to add extra salary going into next year's free agency. And I hardly see the Magic making that move. They don't have any other pg on their roster.
As a stater and long-term solution? Maybe not. I like him though. Very solid.But Cory Joseph would be?
