How is DJ Augustine not a starter?

[rhowen4]

Mario's ceiling is higher than luigi's. If he just worked on his body ��

I think the announcers yesterday said augustin has issues with stamina. I don't know if thats recurring. He's going from some minutes to a lot very quickly, so we'll see if he keeps up a starting pg level consistently.

I watched the game for a bit and it doesn't even seem like he is trying to do anything on offense. he just brings the ball up and makes a simple pass.

probably put his game check on the sixers.

Yup, and if he isn't hitting his shots, he's rather useless. Exactly what's happening tonight. Dude couldn't exploit a poor team like the Sixers. He has absolutely no control of this team like Jennings did.

Lol @ OP. Starter my big, black, hairy ass.

Too small, bust out of Texas and da Bulls made him.

@ this guy

28 and 12 last night.

21/8/3 on 51/43/91 since becoming a starter... Even with his 2 point 0-7 shooting night.

Get off muh dikk

He'll hurt you on defense (Wall and old man Andre Miller exposed him in the playoffs last year) but he's very helpful to teams struggling offensively. He isn't much of a leader out there but he is really good on the PnR and can shoot lights out.

Honestly.. he just isn't starter material. This is nothing like the Darren Collison situation at all. . Collison had been producing for years and playing solid ball even in the playoffs.

Problems with Dj is that he has little to no athleticism - which hurts him especially on defense. Stationary dribble but doesn't go anywhere.. therefore wasting possessions. There's probably a hundred guards outside the nba that can do what he does tbqh.

100 other guards outside the NBA could average 21 and 8 while shooting 50%?

Well then, please let Morey know where one of those 100 are, because the rockets could use a borderline all star PG.

Did you just call DJ borderline all-star??

21 and 8 is borderline all star, and apparently there are 100 of those guys not even playing in the league.

So, no, I did not call DJ a borderline all star.

22, 12, 4 at the beginning of the 4th quarter.

Let the haters hate.

DJ Augustine is like Luigi. Everyone knows he's better than whoever is starting in-front of him like Mario and Luigi. Fvck Mario. This post was never about DJ Augustine. It's about my irrational hated of a video game character. Why is he fat and yet fast as fvck and jump stupid high? I'm sick of him.

This was so ****in corny

[UK2K]

21.8 ppg
9.2 apg
3.0 rpg
54/48/92

In 5 games as a starter.

I'm telling ya, if he's still a FA for some reason in your fantasy league, pick him up. He's a top 10 PG ROS.

Augustin is picking up where Jennings left off. One bad game, but killed it every other night. I feel like the team completely crumbles when he's off the floor.

[dontgetchoked]

i love DJ dude is a great player. Just not good on defense because of his size. if he was 6'3 he would be a starter easily

[oarabbus]

I picked up DJ in fantasy the day Jennings went down, because I got him last year when he was starting for the Bulls. He was incredible, dude consistently kills it. I'm talking this is a guy I got off waivers who throws down 20/8 regularly. He should definitely be starting somewhere. I'd take him over MCW, Elfrid Payton, Calderon, or Jarett Jack who are all starting.

He dropped 25/13/4 on 8-14 shooting with a couple 3s today. Dude is a beast.

Same here. Had him last season and he killed it when Heinrich didn't play.

Picked him up the minute I saw Jennings went down. He will end up being the best WW pick up of the season.
