Re: DJ Augustin
I think his height is a definite problem for him. As far as it goes in college its impossible to keep him out of the lane and he can distribute with efficiency. He's a smart PG and lethal in transition.
One of my Top-10 favorite players in college, but I'm still not sold on his pro potential.

Re: DJ Augustin
Verdict is still out on him IMO. Seems like a very heady player, I think if he refines his skills he could be a Lucas type player

Re: DJ Augustin
I like him. I think he leaves after next year, personally. He can play in the league.
Of course I'm biased though.

Re: DJ Augustin
He is really showing what he can do in the college game without Durant this season. He cannot be stopped on the break and can still get into the lane at any time he wants. His shooting has improved a lot since last season also.
He over dribbles like crazy though. I mean Texas must have to redo the floors after every home game.

Re: DJ Augustin
I see him leaving this year. He's really small though.

Re: DJ Augustin
He's been playing like an All-American this year. It doesn't seem like he's improved too much from last year, but he's just now getting his chance to really shine without Durant, and he's certainly holding his own, that's for sure. I love his game. He's more than likely going to test the draft waters, but I hope he stays another year.

Re: DJ Augustin
I would love to see him as a backup PG to CP3

Re: DJ Augustin
How does he compare to a guy like TJ Ford in the NBA?

Re: DJ Augustin
I don't think Augustin as the same foot speed as TJ Ford, but he is very quick on the break and has an extra gear he can kick into to blow by defenders. He is also more prone to over dribbling. Augustin is a better scorer and shooter though.

Re: DJ Augustin
He also is more muscular and takes contact better than TJ Ford.
