I can't believe that people are still saying this stuff.
There were a lot of us who called this exactly how it went down. I wasn't able to see it because I had to pull a double shift yesterday I worked from 8 in the morning until 1145 last night.
All of these people saying that oh you didn't see his real game etc..etc... I'm not dogging Austin's game, but come on... what does it take for people to admit that this kid was just outclassed and had no business this early in his career playing someone like Efren. Those threads on the voting for Austin, don't vote for Austin etc... were reminiscent of the threads talking about the female pros versus the male top pros. There's the way it is and then there's the way that certain people want it to be.
"Oh it's tight pockets, if the pockets were looser, if the cameras weren't there, etc.etc." Sure if you have seven inch pockets, even your average banger has a chance against Efren. The kid is a kid and even if his game CAN be at times at the level necessary to compete with the likes of Efren, Johnny, Alex, Santos, etc... he's not going to be emotionally prepared for the lights cameras spotlight, etc. I'm sure that Austin is capable of playing at that level, but he needs to understand that he needs to grow and develop emotionally or he's going to risk hitting a mental slump before he's even really started.
Ninety five percent of this game is mental state and if you keep throwing him in with the Lions and he keeps getting eaten up, it's going to kill his mental game and he's going to end up where I am, his mid thrities and times off from the game he loves and nothing really to show for it. Maybe that's why I get soo upset hen I see kids being lauded up the way Austin, Chuckie and all of these other kids are ,because I know that the emotional stability and readiness is frgaile at that age and it can be an extreme detriment to their game. I know this from experience.
Oh well, I'm probably talking to deaf ears.
