Introducing: Brandon Austin


Brandon Austin is a 6th Grader from Philadelphia, PA standing 6’0 tall with a frail frame. I got two chances to see Austin in action once at the Maryland Invitational and then again at Adidas Phenom East. While playing with Team Kobe at the MIT Austin displayed the full package in his game. He handled the ball on the perimeter and was a pure mismatch for defenders including the mighty Gauchos. When Austin got into the lane he used his long body to extend all the way to the basket on numerous occasions. This kid has some scary potential and you can check out Austin along with his teammates as Team Kobe has confirmed their presence at the Basketball Spotlight MDC.
