Admittedly I didn't watch Austin Rivers much during his 1 year at Duke but have watched a few Hornets games and can't believe how bad he is. So I looked up his numbers at Duke last year and what in the world made anyone think that this guy can play outside of his famous sire? As a shooting guard he shot 36% on 3 pointers in college and 65% from the line. He is shooting 32% (3's) and 55% (ft) and 37% overall this season. He is not a good rebounder, playmaker or defender. I'm sure virtually no one over 30 cares but I suppose any negativity that can be brought up about a Dukie has to interest someone.
