If you guys dont know Austin Rivers than you dont know The Future of the NBA.

This guy has all the tools to be a superstar in the league. He is a mixer of Monta Ellis/Tyreke Evans with a jumpshot.:bowdown:

Standing 6'3-6'4 dude is blessed with quick speed, athleticism, swag meter out of this word and confidence like a young Kobe:pimp:

He plays nothing like Tyreke Evans and not a whole lot like Monta Ellis. His slashing ability is overrated due to him playing against smaller high school players.

His game relies on his nasty ball handling skills and pull up jumper. He's a decent, but not great slaher like Tyreke/Ellis are and he's still far from playing the PG position. At this point he's a skinny, undersized two guard.

I'm really high on his potential, but don't get carried away.

He has a lot of time to develop. Could be great, could just be another short scorer (like Monta, I'll give you that).

Rivers will be more like Steph Curry, not Monta Ellis/Tyreke Evans. He'll probably become a very good NBA player, and maybe make an all-star team or two, but I highly doubt he'll end up becoming an an elite level player like Lebron, Kobe, Wade, Durant.

Well I think he could, but I hope he becomes more of a team player.

I think if he slides to the Pg position I can defiantly see him being able to a superstar type of player

Something like a 6'3 Allen Iverson

Hope Rivers plays for his Dad

You don't end up being a consensus top 5 high school bball player having a lot of terrible AAU games.

From what I see.... Hes going to be a pesky defender who can shoot the open shot and will be quick...

Doc Rivers wasnt a superstar but he was a very solid PG in the Andre Miller role with better defense.

Austin Rivers is quick but its not rondo/rose/west brook quick. Id say hes above average NBA athletiscm to make plays. Hes not a shooter like Stephen Curry who can go lights out from 3.

I hope he stays in College at least 2 years, where he can fill his frame in the weight room...maybe grow 6'4(6'3 now) and be able to distribute.

I found this on a UNC message board and they got it from a Kentucky message board...

Since December 20, 2010. For the year, ESPN's #1 guy is 84 for 248 for
33.9%, similar to what Deandre Liggins is shooting against college guys.

FT% is still a chilly 69%.

For his career, Rivers is:

Soph: 84 for 235 from 3 for 36%; 66% FT
Jr: 82 for 218 from 3 for 38%; 67% FT
Sr: 84 for 248 from 3 for 33.9%; 69% FT

Overall, 250 for 701 from 3 for 35.7%. 67.3% FT. Against high schoolers.


Sounds like to me he's a volume scorer. Those shooting percentages don't exactly wow you and he's still in high school.

I'm not saying he's going to be a bust but I also don't seem him as the next NBA mega superstar.

Most people hyping him did it cause he played John Wall in AAU and crossed him up,and styled on him a couple plays.

Hes gonna be a very good defender on the perimeter with a decent shot...it sounds liek Doc Rivers to me lol

I actually was at a preseason game between the (then) new orleans hornets and the heat. I believe it was the first ever matchup between Austin Rivers and Lebron James in a sort-of professional setting. Rivers scored 6 pts and left the game with an injury. New Orleans won.
