Quote
In an interview with the Sporting News’ Brian McLaughlin, Duke recruit Austin Rivers was asked what it’s like to rub elbows with the best players in the world. Rivers’ response:

“Well, I’ve met Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Ray Allen—you name it. A lot of people ask me who I’ve met through my dad, and they’re in awe when they hear the names of the players, but I’ve never looked at it like that. It’s cool meeting all of them, but I really want to be in their situation one day. I don’t want to just meet LeBron, I want to destroy him on the court one day.”

I love the kid already, Doc taught him well. Cant wait to draft him or get him after his rookie contract (please still be here Doc).

Pierce has said that he has awesome skills already, he claimed that he could hang with NBA guys almost a year ago.

Andy Bernard doesnt lose constests. He wins them, or he quits them because they're unfair.

Yea his game resembles it from that mixtape.

Once he matures physically and hits the weight room he could be a beast.

Wow he really does. Even his jumpshot and the hop.

The potential is definitely there, it's obvious.
Hope to see you in Green in a few yrs.

Maybe Rivers should worry about Harrison Barnes, John Henson, Tyler Zeller and the incoming James McAdoo.  I mean since Singler, Nolan Smith and in all likelyhood Kyrie Irving are all gone.  

Something tells me Duke is not gonna do to well with just the Plumlees, the red headed step child of the Curry family and Rivers.

Great handle, can change directions on a dime. Also has a little Pistol Pete in him, the way he drifts in and switches directions with the ball. Shoots like Reggie Miller, which i guess is a good thing. Just looks ugly.

Hmmm 2012 clipper draft pick would look great on an Austin Rivers. I wonder if this was ever thought out.

I doubt we get him. He's suppose to go 1st overall in 2012 draft.
PHX Suns: Russell Westbrook, Chris Bosh, Tristan Thompson, Trevor Ariza, Tony Allen, Trey Lyles, Corey Brewer, Larry Nance Jr., Trey Burke, Troy Daniels, Joffrey Lauvergne, Justin Holiday, Mike Muscala, 14.6

  • Boston Celtics= Championships, nothing less.
so do they bring him in as the reserve PG?
He will never start if rondo is on our team...
He seems good enough to slot in as a starting PG on a lottery team to me.
Can't see it happening.
"We are lucky we have a very patient GM that isn't willing to settle for being good and coming close. He wants to win a championship and we have the potential to get there still with our roster and assets."
