Maybe Isaiah Austin saves the Draft

[Fischella]

I thinked that he could be a disapoinment, and at best a Mullens type of player in the NBA... but I like him the other day vs. LeHigh, maybe he could stay strong all season and saves this weak class? not sure yet but...

Fair comparison? Gasol? Bender? Lopez?

[ManualRam]

his frame is really bad. not sure of a comparison. ajinca, skinny blatche, c.frye, charlie v.
something along those lines.

Would be a dominant NBA player if he went to a program like Georgetown for 3-4 years. Dreaming is free.

How long is he going to be out?

I wouldn't have mind seeing him go to G Town either. Seems fitting for him.

He's pretty polished offensively, inside-out.

got pushed around attempting to box out defensively. Runs pretty slow as well, but maybe just a factor of precaution given the recent injury. Problem is, as other have pointed out, Austin will have problems filling out.
Would probably take him over Noel in the draft today.

judging an interview watched lately: We're talking about a great character person.

that's how he normally runs.

The kid is pushed from the post to the 3pt line in less then 2 seconds, lol.

He has fantastic length though, enough to put up good numbers in collage for now. He has to bulk up and think more like a center though and not like Chaning Frye.

Why should he? If the kid has perimeter skills, let him play that way for god's sake.

Its interesting to think what he could be in the NBA. He could just flame out because of his horrible frame or he could be a sharpshooting 4/5 with good rebounding ability.

His stats are bizarre right now. .33 BPG, 36% from three, 44% from the line. The shooting stats are probably just small sample size stuff, but I would have thought that a seven footer with a giant wingspan would be able to block shots...His team has also been bad despite strong individual stats from most guys on the team.

his lateral quickness is not good at all, so that could be a reason why he's not blocking shots. the more athletic cory jefferson is being used as the guy coming over to contest shots.

I read an article that hlif he stays another year he may be in contention for #1.

He's not ready. Also, this class is not bad; don't believe the (anti)hype.
