Bobcats' Coach Larry Brown, who has a reputation of being tough on rookies and point guards, has so far been full of praise for his rookie point guard D.J. Augustin, according to the Associated Press.

"He just does what you ask him to do, without exception," Brown said after a minicamp practice this week. "I knew he was a good player, but he's far exceeded my expectations."

After seven practices over four days, Brown thinks Augustin has grasped the fast-moving, quick-passing offense he wants.

"It'll be neat because once the veterans come in I think he'll endear himself to all those guys because if you get open he's going to get you the ball," Brown said. "He thinks pass first. He gets you into what you want to do. He gets the ball to the right people. He's real good."
