He's damn near averaging a double double and is contributing night in and night out but all you read is how terrible he is. Rivers on the other hand is "Mr 3-10" and is praised for things like pedigree and work ethic. Lopez is also in the same Boat as Aminu. Everyone hates him but he produces night in and night out. So to answer your question I can make a judgement on his ceiling based on what I see. Either you got it or you don't. I can't argue with emotions because you feel what you feel and I respect that but according to the eye test, Rivers doesn't have it. Coach K actually said on ESPN radio that Rivers needed to stay in college so don't listen to me but you have to believe Coach K, right?
