If Augustin can overcome his lack of size he should be a very good NBA point guard. He’s extremely intelligent and has exceptional court vision. One of the most important skills for a point guard is an ability to control the tempo of the game and Augustin understands that. He’s super-quick and rarely commits turnovers on the fast break, and he can burn a defense with the pick and roll and a reliable mid-range jumper against a half-court defense. Augustin is a notorious gym rat and he studies the game like a scientist. That is a recipe for success in any sport. He’s going to have some problems defending bigger opponents, but somehow he’ll figure it out.
