Auguste comes off a stellar performance against Umana Reyer Venice last week in which he made all of his 9 two-point shots en route to 20 points, 8 rebounds and a PIR of 26. He ranks third in two-point shooting percentage (73.3% 2FG), averaging 8.4 points, 5.4 rebounds and a PIR of 10.3 in 19 minutes per night as a part-time starter. He led Cedevita past Valencia 95-97 in Round 8 with 11 points on 5-of-6 shooting inside the arc, 6 rebounds and a PIR of 9. Auguste should be ready for a physical battle in the paint.
