Team Breakdown’s stable of guards include a pack of tough, athletic and intense prospects. Austin had one of the more productive weekends of the rotation and if he wasn’t scoring, was acting as a generator of offense with his ability to operate in high ball screens, attacks defenders off the catch or create advantages in isolations to establish paint touches and make the defense collapse. He’s an athletic finisher in transition where he can add in some craft as others chase him down to contest at the rim or he’ll full on accept and absorb contact in the air while maintaining concentration to convert. Austin averaged just under 11 points per game while supplying relentless on-ball pressure defense throughout.

-Loved the overall impact that I saw from Austin in a win for TBD. Austin started things off with a corner 3 in transition, showed great timing on a straight cut from the corner for the backdoor layup, rattled in a floater from the short corner in transition off the dump-off, and served as an effective connector that kept the ball moving from the wing throughout both games that I saw. Austin doesn’t lose his man off the ball while still providing good help on both slashing guards and post-up bigs. I thought that he also showed great energy whether he was on the court or on the bench to give an unselfish boost to his team during games.
