Austin Montgomery brings veteran size, shot-blocking history, and low-usage steadiness
Austin Montgomery is a long, experienced forward whose calling card has been rim protection and efficient role-play, not volume scoring; in the 2015-16 season at Utah, he averaged 3.3 points and 1.5 rebounds in 8 games while shooting 76.9% from the floor[1][2]. He later ranked among career block leaders at Utah Tech, which matches the kind of smart, vertical, defense-first profile that can quietly help a roster[1]. If a team needs toughness, length, and a low-ego glue guy rather than an offensive engine, he’s the kind of fit coaches appreciate.
