Re: Gimme Austin Rivers right now over 80% of the leagues point guards
Lmao this kid is horrible.:oldlol:
Did he forget how to shoot or something?
Re: Gimme Austin Rivers right now over 80% of the leagues point guards
He's a highly highly coveted prospect for sure.. most people have him as the #1 prospect going in im' pretty sure or if they don't he's top3 minimum.
Saw some highlights of him at AAU.. I have to admit his handles are extremely nice.. his handles look NBA ready already and he's only in high school.. and it's not like i've seen a lot of film on this guy.. it's obvious right from the start.
Only concern is his strength, size and mental ability.
with that said 80% of the pgs in the league is ridiculous

I would take all those players over rivers.. augustin is a toss-up but that's because rivers hasn't had a shot in the NBA yet.

Hey i'm just being honest.. i said that his ball-handling/dribble is already at NBA level, just the fact that he could win a starting job in the NBA before he even graduates high school is a high enough compliment in itself.

His shots are not falling. Rivers is just on a cold streak. He'll be fine. In fact, he'll be one of the best players in his draft class within a few years.
Don't write off a rookie as a bust 20 games into his first season.
Re: Gimme Austin Rivers right now over 80% of the leagues point guards
He looks so disinterested on so many possessions. I think he hates playing for New Orleans.
Unfortunately, until he learns how to drive left, he'll never fully take off in the NBA.
I'm sure he'll find his place eventually. Maybe after his rookie contract.
Re: Gimme Austin Rivers right now over 80% of the leagues point guards
i told you guys he would bust... playing him at pg is even worse :facepalm

Dude went back to highschool after playing at Duke and the NBA? :bowdown: So humble.
Re: Gimme Austin Rivers right now over 80% of the leagues point guards
Austin Rivers is a scrub. No need to sugar coat it.
However..... Dude could get better. No need to write him off already.
Re: Gimme Austin Rivers right now over 80% of the leagues point guards
Paul Pierce was 10th pick :bowdown:
But The Truth went 16-6-3 his rookie year in pressure city Boston.

The guy should feel lucky to get so many minutes. He doesn't get to hate playing for New Orleans, he's really lucky to be in the league.
