Underrated transfer visiting Pittsburgh
Zack Austin will be visiting Pittsburgh on Wednesday, according to multiple sources. Panthers fans should be excited about the possibility of this addition, as Austin is one of the more underrated players in the transfer portal.
One of the main reasons for this is his ability to play both ways. He’s a very athletic, versatile defender that guards multiple positions. His defensive production can be seen in numbers alone, as he averaged more than two blocks per contest at 6-foot-4.
