I’ve been hard on Paris Austin this year. He was hailed as a savior during the offseason: the “true point guard” who was going to turn around Cal’s offensive woes. What I’ve seen on the floor is someone who’s clearly limited as a Pac-12 point guard. A slightly undersized lead guard who lacks high major court vision, is maybe an average passer, and shoots a little too much for someone with a mediocre stroke.
Well, Paris Austin got hurt on Friday in practice and the Bears were without his services in Westwood today.
