Thoughts on Austin Rivers?

I never really thought he was that good. His senior year was the year that i first really started following high school basketball, and i was thinking how he was ranked number one. of course, anthony davis surpassed him but for a while it was austin.

I didn't even realize he was doc's son for a while and i think that was the reason he was getting so much attention. dont get me wrong, he is a good player, but he seems like he needs the ball in his hands and shoots way too much and has a low FG%, like most high school stars. Going into duke i didn't think he was gonna be that good, but he was a little better than i thought. Going into the league, i think he will be one of those energizing players who hops from team to team, kind of like a nate robinson. idk i just never see him being a star and kind of being a bust, although he didn't get selected that high but i dont think he will live up to any of the hype surrounding him.

He's in a tough place because he's too short to play 2 and it would be a waste of talent to put a player with his scorers mentality at point guard. He's been called a very hard worker by everyone he's been around so I would look to see him have a productive career. I can see him having a career similar to Jason Terry. A guy you can put in the game and expect an offensive spark.

He won't be kwame brown but I don't think he will be great

Don't worry I was disappointed with Dion Waiters performance in Summer League

I never really watched him while he was in college, but based off his summer league performance, I wouldn't be surprised if he turned into a second coming of Jimmer Fredette. Lots of hype, but fails to live up to expectations in the NBA.

.

He might have a decent rookie season, but I don't think he will be an all-star or anything close to one. He hasn't convinced me yet that can be a great player. But I will say this, he will be far better than Kwame.

He'll definitely be more successful than Kwame Brown. I think his style of play is similar to OJ Mayo, but I couldn't say how successful he'll turn out.

his a beast now not scared of the second...i referred to as this child popping out of high school being one of the most elite scorers he can stretch the ground he can shoot of the dribble and will force his bought the swagger to him he cares himself bought the mojo his bought the arrogance he dosent back off difficult to uncover at that age thats a celebrity he went ceremony after the ball he wasnt seeking to move that he lived for that second he used to be off the chain all nite...his gonna be well nba participant mark my phrases

He's just popular because of his dad. His not even a very good player but his not bad to. Just a decent kind of player. I see him having a career similar to Delonte West.
