Forecaster Impact
Despite being blind in his right eye, Austin was able to average 11.0 ppg, 5.5 rpg and 3.3 bpg last season while leading Baylor to the Sweet 16. Marfan syndrome is a rare genetic disease that can sometimes lead to heart enlargement. Austin was projected to be a second-round pick before his diagnosis.
