Isaiah Austin May Go Undrafted Due to Eye?

Hit in the eye while playing baseball at the age of 12, (former Baylor forward) Isaiah Austin is legally blind in his right eye. The disability, however, didn’t prevent the 7-foot-1, 225-pound center/power forward from leading the Big 12 in blocks this past season with 119, and from being named to the Big 12 All-Defensive squad.

Blake, though, isn’t sure if Austin’s disability will prevent him from being chosen when the NBA holds its annual two-round draft Thursday.

“It’s not like a bad back or a knee that might get reinjured,” said Blake, who is the senior director of NBA scouting operations. “He plays with it.”
