Frank Fedorjaka on Winter: "Austin obviously had a great year last year, but he has gotten better since the season ended. He is bigger, stronger, faster and more confident. He has worked on his shot a lot in the off season, especially with his off hand, as he tries to become a more diverse player. He has such great vision that he has always been a feeder first, but as he becomes a better dodger and better shooter, he will be that much more difficult to defend."
