He is stronger and quicker and has improved his left hand and his dodging. The best part about Austin is that his attitude is tremendous every day in practice. Nobody works harder and nobody has more fun doing it than him. He loves playing in the snow or in the mud. He has earned a reputation as a star player, but he has handled it very well, and he even thrives on it. When the game is on the line, he wants the ball in his hands. He is a true triple-threat player: he can set himself up, he can set up a teammate, and he can finish." |
