this is certainly encouraging

quote:

This is fatherly concern speaking. Monty Williams, the close family friend who has known Austin since he was 3 years old, when Williams and Doc were San Antonio teammates, has a similar coaching worry. What strikes the Hornets coach is the surprising difference between father and son. “His dad has played more golf than I thought humanly possible,” said Williams. “Austin does nothing else but basketball. I’m trying to get him to pick something up.” So Williams has taken Austin fishing. Maybe the rookie can learn that it’s OK to downshift occasionally.

There's good stuff there and in other articles. It really seems like they seem something in Austin that is worth the trouble and pain.

People can point to Monty's relationship affecting how many resources he's getting, but it was Dell who had more of a say about getting him on this team. Monty's `thing' was supposed to be developing young players. We've seen some success on this front, Monty's contract was extended, and he's been praised in a number of NBA circles. I'm going to trust Monty on this one. Not everything is going to work out. I'm not going take trust away until I see a pattern develop. At that point, of course, it's `too late', but I'm ok with that.
