    I'm sure they had some amazing analysis, like the fact that we have no chance of re-signing Gordon.

    Basically we need a great scorer. Austin Rivers is perfect for that role. You can't build a contender in one offseason. Rivers will be a great building piece.

    i really think there is a lot to this Monty/Austin relationship that could make Austin buy into being less selfish.

    Despite everything, I think we've secretly promised him.

    I agree. Austin has mad respect for Monty, so he would trust him more so than any other coach in the league.

    Apparently, he is selling himself as a PG right now.

    I love how every prospect mentions loving Monty and how several want to play here. It's a good time to be a Hornet fan.

    What if Rivers think playing for Monty will be a cakewalk simply because he knows him? I mean a cakewalk as in coming in and having his way. How would that turn out? I'm not saying that's what's on Rivers' mind but it's just something that crossed mine.

    I don't think any player would be that stupid. Especially Doc Rivers son. It would be harder if anything.

    Me too! They seem to be real tired after his workouts! Does anyone else realize that in most of the draft workout interviews, most of the players talk about how they love Monty's practices?

    I doubt that seriously. It feels good to have a potential "star player" come out and say that he WANTS to be here. I can dig it.

    if Monty can get D. West to mildly defend, he can do anything with any player

    That's not true. That team was a 2nd seed in the NCAA tournament and it wasn't because of him. He had good players on his team, but he didn't know how to play within the system and his defense stuck. He got torched in the loss against Lehigh. He wasn't that good last season.

    We're hearing Bryan Colangelo and the Raptors are leaning towards Austin Rivers over Dion Waiters at 8.

    Dude is overrated as a prospect. He has talent, but he doesn't know how to apply it.
