D.J. Augustin was a Texas floor general before becoming an NBA veteran
D.J. Augustin is not a current Texas Longhorns college player; he starred at Texas from 2006-08, where he was one of the nation’s best lead guards and finished his UT career with 1,234 points, 452 assists, and a .402 three-point mark. His calling card was pace control, shot-making, and decision-making under pressure, plus rare poise for a young guard—he also earned consensus first-team All-America and Academic All-America honors in the same season. If you want a polished, high-IQ point guard, Augustin’s Texas resume screams fit; if you need a rugged defensive stopper, that’s less his lane.
