With 5:11 left in the third quarter of Wednesday’s game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, Zach Auguste grabbed the rebound and runs the break. Listed at 6-foot-10, No. 30 crossed half-court and found a cutting Harry Giles with the no-look one-handed pass for an easy transition bucket.
It’s these types of plays that have helped Auguste make a name for himself in Las Vegas.
After leaving Notre Dame, Auguste went undrafted in 2016. Electing to play overseas in both Turkey and Greece with Summer League stints in Los Angeles and Miami in between.
On Wednesday, Auguste’s full skill-set was on display: stretching the floor beyond the arc, running the break, up-and-under moves under the basket and the previously mentioned court vision.
