Austin Rivers 21'st B-day

He is now 21, hopefully he doesn't go get to smashed in the French Quarter, and pull a Terrence Jones! To kick his 21st birthday off. How about a highlight video...

I don't know. I love the kid as well, but at best he will be our 4 guard. I don't think he is gonna get enough minutes to be a star. Of course, if Gordon gets injured again, he will have a bigger role, but I'm not hoping for that at all.

Happy Birthday Austin Rivers!!! You are my 5th favorite player on the team. I believe in you kid and hope you are in the top 5 for most improved players this year. Prove all the haters wrong and come out show everyone the player you truly are this year.

I would say the #1 most improved player award, but that will go to Tyreke Evans.
Anthony Davis will get defensive player of the year.
Eric Gordon will get come back player of the year, unless Greg Oden signs with us...lol!

You forgot about his lack of mid-range and 3 pt shoot! Gotta work on that too!

I didn't think the editing was bad.

Did Rivers fall down on every drive last season? It sure seemed so.

I think Rivers is overrated on here. And I think he is underrated just about everywhere else.

To me, he is a scoring guard off the bench, with the potential to become one of the better role player (possibly 6th man) players in the league.

I don't think he's going to be an All star or a world beater. (Obviously I hope he does, just in case someone jumps on me for being a hater or something ridiculous like that)
