This week, the Los Angeles Lakers added backcourt depth by signing veteran guard D.J. Augustin.
At first glance, it may seem as if he will make no more than a minimal impact, but head coach Frank Vogel is optimistic about how Augustin will help the team.
Augustin, who is in his 14th NBA season, has been a journeyman, but he has always been a fine 3-point shooter (he has a 38.0% career average from downtown) and competent secondary floor general/playmaker.
