Austin Rivers was once ranked higher than Anthony Davis coming out of high school. But after an unspectacular time at Duke, plus his early season struggles - Rivers was on the verge of falling out of the NBA...until....

I think it's unfair to call him a daddy's boy. Yeah, I know he's Doc's son, but he did have some game. He just didn't turn out to be as great as some thought he'd be

@YodaSmokes День назад

He would’ve been out of the league if not for doc long before he was. Yes he turned into a decent bench guy, but he was bad for so long any other team would have already given up on him by the time he became one.

-- On a different timeline, he stays in college 2-3 years, gets drafted later in the 2nd round. But STILL Makes similar money over a similar timeframe. Who knows. He was athletic and quick but he never developed the shooting ability. Plus he was coddled growing up so he never he had the mindset to be a Duncan so he just still followed the Harden way.

@bryndt6647 19 часов назад

I really don't like how you exaggerate bad performances by players. 7 ppg as a sophomore is not that bad or even close to abysmal that he should be cut from his team. Even without doc, he could've gotten another contract and improve from there on.

@goodfellabeats 7 часов назад

No, it is that bad. He was ranked #1 coming out of HS and a lottery pick. For his career, he averaged 8 points a game which is just a point more than his second year. He was a below average player with no specialty. If he wasn't Doc's son, this video wouldn't even exsist.

@BenSchmerler День назад

He got a little too much hate. He wasn't the best player of his class by far, but once he got his role established he was productive. Plenty of guys completely bust out and can't even get to a 2nd contract. Once he left college, I think the expectations were a bit more grounded. Nobody expected him to be amazing the second he got to New Orleans.

@nadimkhoury5547 3 часа назад

He clearly showed alot of upside if he got drafted 10th. Unless NO is just terrible at scouting?

@RuinAngel 5 часов назад

Without Doc Austin would never had that many years in the league to develop his game. There are plenty of players who could not get it right before they finish their rookie contract. But hey, he took what he had and made it work, cant take that away from him.

This is the story of most people coming out of HS in every aspect. Most of the time things go to the ones you dont see working hard AF. LBJ and P Manning results cant go without a tip of the hat. Rivers is a success story period.

@yo_everett2765 12 часов назад

Overrated in his initial pre-draft ranking, went to the wrong school that didn’t use him correctly as a combo guard scorer, and was caudlled. His father being GM/coach gave him more time to reach any type of potential that he had left. Overall solid 7th man. Should’ve been a 2nd round or late first round pick.

@farquadshmoogle9120 12 часов назад

What a disappointment he was. The HS highlights really made us all believe he could at least be a dynamic offensive playmaker, like Shaun Livingston pre-injury. No heart, no hunger.

@theseyi 17 часов назад

Yeah that surprised me what the video was saying. I remember watching literally almost every one of his games back when he was at Duke. He definitely wasn’t terrible by any means. Was he quite up to the hype? Not quite. But a disaster? Not even close. I still remember his sick game winner he had. He had many good games in college. I’ve never seen a freshman average that many ppg and be called a terrible season, especially at Duke. 15.5 ppg on 50.5 efg%….yeah….

@andycanoy863 День назад

If Austin RIvers was an All-Star, it would be funny if his father's curse of failing to hold onto a 3-1 lead would transfer to him so any team other he's on other than the Clippers will lose a 7-game series despite holding a lead.

@marcomcdowell8861 22 часа назад

Nobody thought he was ging to be a superstar except his fans. I don't think NO drafted him because Doc Rivers is his old man. Nepotism is getting something because a relative is in a position to benefit you due to the relation. Doc traded for a backup PG that just so happened to be his son, and his numbers in LA kinda justified the move. I seriously doubt that he could spend 12 years in the NBA just because of his daddy. Teams seemed to have felt he was good enough to keep around. The NBA is full of father-son connections, be it player to player, exec to player or coach to player.

@fredm.2699 21 час назад

I’m sorry…youre saying Doc Rivers wanted a back up PG and he signed a back up PG who happened to be his son? Just happened to be his son? Just coincidence?? So when a cop wants to give someone a break and not give them a ticket, its just a coincidence when that someone is their son? I’m moving to North Korea if this is how my fellow country men think.

@blacknetsmed День назад

Austin Rivers isn't a "daddy's boy" or a "nepo baby". That's lowbrow nonsense that people spew in an attempt to insult him because they DON'T LIKE HIM. His trash talking and bravado has people who were role players about as good as he was talk down on him.
