Has been signed by the Red Claws.  For what it's worth, I thought that he was the Celtics best player in summer league.

I very much like his game. Austin -- teach him to guard 3s.

Wasn't his story something like he had to play center in college, so he didn't get even near attempting the 3 spot.  Anyone have any ideas on whether he can swing all the way out there?  Was he playing the 4 last night, I presume?

I believe so.

I watched his entire Michigan career. He has the total package physically, but mentally he is very weak.

Looks like Greek club PAOK will move legally against him.
This young American guys come to Europe and just don't make an effort to adapt themselves. They just leave without giving a s**t. There's been similar cases here in Portugal.

I thought he was interesting in SL too.  Don't know if it'll be him, but I'd still like another bonafide SF.

We've had a couple of blowouts where Paul and Ray were able to rest, that bring down their MPGs, but if not for those, I sure would like to get their minutes down a bit (especially Ray, who Doc just runs into the ground).

If we pick up an SF, I think Quis could play a bit more 2 then.

I'm concerned about Paul and Ray's minutes, though.

Too bad--that should complicate his learning a new position belatedly.

Whoa!  Did anybody check Mr. Sims's performance on Saturday night:

24 points on 9-16 shooting, 6-10 on free throws, 15 rebounds, 2 blocks, 2 assists, 2 fouls and 2 turnovers in 33 minutes.
