who wouldnt want to play with blake?


austin will come in and be a good pro, and will be great when its said and done. his scoring is going to be nice..

 

[DJT]

How tall is Austin? He's a 2 guard isn't he?

 

[Elite]

6'4

 

[DJT]

So probably a 2 guard. Not sure the Clippers need a 2 guard.

 

[lonesomefx]

he's an undersized SG. ala D-Wade, which proves it isn't impossible for him to survive in the league. i believe D-Wade is 6'3"

 

[Pugz]

hes a two. nowadays 6'4 really isnt undersized but most would want a two around 6'5-6'7

 

[The Young One]

He said on a duke site he's 6'5 now. But thats reaching.

?? :huh2: Are you serious?

6'4 is fine for a SG.

I think he'll be a fine player, maybe even really good but like I have stated a lot I think the real #1 player doesn't receive enough attention, mainly because he just isn't as famous as a younger kid and doesn't have the media hype.. Anthony Davis is the prize of the 2012 draft. Guard skills in a 6'10 frame with developing post play.

6'4 is undersized to a point. at that height its about weight..

He has to put on a lot of weight..he could easily end up being a all star...or Anthony Randolph

as it was said before, 6'5" to 6'7" is the usual height for a typical SG. D-Wade gets away at 6'3" which is point guard size. Austin is fine at 6'4" ; doesn't change that it's slightly undersized.

I was more puzzled about the part that you said he can't survive in the league....

one or the other is bound to happen. time will tell.

 

[DJT]

Kemba Walker and Jimmer Fredette both worked out for the Jazz today...not sure how it went...

antony randolph would have been fine had he gotten solid playing time and good coaching though.

only you care.........................

 

[DJT]

Randolph is fine on 2k11

Randolph just needs to get his head on straight I think. If he does that, he might get playing time.

Nobody cares about Kemba on here????

I don't think putting on weight will be a problem. He seems to have a high work ethic, and his growth spurt was huge so he hasn't really had the time to add more weight.
