It look like Austin was playing against high schoolers
Didn't see him finish with his left hand once in that video.
With all due respect, some of us could have dropped 42 on those dudes. Those are the same guys that he dominated in high school and AAU. This league is similar to intramural basketball. Summer league would have been better comp than this rec league
The most overused words on Pelicansreport.com. Wrongly, I might add.
ELITE - (often used with a plural verb) the choice or best of anything considered collectively, as of a group or class of persons.
GREAT - notable; remarkable; exceptionally outstanding
These words should not be used lightly
This isn't good. It's not bad but it isn't good because this is how you develop bad habits when you play below average to average competetion. This is that, maybe worse, some of these players looked like former glorified frat stars just trying to get a run in.
Well I would hope the rest of the offseason he is playing more comparable talent and focusing on honing his skills. I wouldn't look any more into this then I would Lebron playing pick up games at the gym or Durant tweeting about looking for local pick up games because he is bored on a weekend.
That would have been the case if the coaches hadn't announced it well before any moves were made.
Also, Babbitt and Ajinca were announced as part of the SL roster and were removed because of possible trade rumors. There's no reason to think that if they had wanted rivers to play So they wouldn't have done the same.

Right. He's def been working hard this summer no doubt in my mind. I'm just simply saying nobody should get excited about this. If he's better than who he's playing against he's either killing them and not getting better, or slacking off because he can, not getting any better, and developing bad game habits. It's nothing to worry about just nothing to be too excited about. I love rivers though, 3rd fav pel behind AD and ryno now that Smith is gone.
The driving and cross-overs don't impress me since it looks like he was playing against the post office intramural team, and he can get by guys in the NBA just as easily. But I love the confidence he's showing in his jumper, and the day he develops a steady pull-up game... he's gonna be REAL hard to guard.
i take the 3pt open shot seriously but the drives to the rim i cancel out...i would have love to see someone atleast hit him with a foul when he went to the rim one on three....they just let go to the rim without touching him.
Austin walks in like "Heyyyy!!! You guys place here too?! Weird!!"
What happened to him training with Tyreke over the summer?
1-6
