Im excited for him. I dont think the lockout will be all that bad. there's too nuch money to lose. it will be good for the players to work on their skills for a little bit more. a good coach like Frank with a stable consistent lineup and clear roles will absolutely bring the best out of Daye.

You know i have always been a fan of Austin Daye's skill set. I also like his toughness, his willingness to rebound in a crowd despite his slight frame. Personally i think Daye should be given the opportunity to be the #2 scoring option on the team by the new coach. Daye has the shot, the range, the ability to shoot off the dribble, a good handle (that needs some improvement when being pressured by defenders), an ability to get to the rim (needs to get stronger to finish more consistently), and good court vision and a willingness to set up teammates off ball rotation or the drive. Daye can also finish in transistion. He also likes to take the big shot and has already shown that he can be clutch. Given the roster as it is, Daye might be my #1 option for late game shots. His defense needs lots of work but a new system that allows switches rather than forcing him to try and get his lanky body over screens should help some. But i am afraid that if there is not a season next year, this kid may never develop his full potential. This would be a real make or break year for Daye.
