Nope. He was second round talent back when he declared for the draft. Now with 2.5 years off from the game I doubt if he's even China league level talent.

The former Baylor center was projected by many to be a late first-round or early second-round pick in the 2014 draft — a 7-foot-1 shot-blocker who wasn’t an explosive athlete, but who was skilled enough to perhaps find a niche as an NBA contributor despite being legally blind in his right eye. But then, pre-draft medical testing revealed that Austin has Marfan syndrome, a genetic disorder that affects the connective tissues that hold together all of the body’s cells and organs.


The disorder affects one in roughly every 5,000 people, and one of its most troublesome outcomes deals with the enlargement of the arteries of the heart. Doctors feared that the standard level of exertion that comes with playing professional basketball could cause those arteries to rupture, endangering Austin’s life; thus, while he was still invited to the draft and, in a moving gesture, officially selected by NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, his career was over before it started.

Too early to realistically speculate on mid season buy-outs?

I'd love to see where his game is at, the he'd definitely fit the culture in Austin/SA.
