celtics should be able to finish at the bottom top 3 of the east if everything goes that way. no way they can beat sixers and knicks at that.

austin rivers should have went to nba later, way too raw and looks like a draft bust, celtics already have one draft bust in evan turner. Fukk these guys. I wanna see James Young getting some minutes.

At the same time though, he probably could've gotten exposed even more if he stayed in college and ended up like James McAdoo. He decided to cash in while some of his hype was still there

I really, really hope he turns it around in Boston.

He can be a solid rotational player but his jumper is :mjlol:. It's not a character or work ethic issue with him, I simply think dude just doesn't have the talent for the NBA. He's a good defender at times though (although this past season he's regressed in that as well).

Maybe playing for a tire fire team will give him a chance to blossom...if he can't shine on Boston then he is done.


Man...we traded our 2012 #10 pick for our 2010 #26 pick. :pachaha:

Why couldn't Dame fall to us in the 2012 Draft. AD and Lillard. :ohlawd:

my question is how could the scouts be so wrong? this dude was the #1 dude out of highschool and they woulda had you swearing he had some sorta Jason Richardson / Vince Carter potential

This. The whole theory of a player being hurt by leaving early has always been flawed

yep. leave when the hype is highest. nba teams dont mind developing talent as much as they did in the past when they needed quick production. kinda reverse trend of the nfl with their qb's.

aka Perry Jones... went from top 5 in 2011 to #30 in 2012

true. i still have some faith in him..he's not a lost cause yet. he played well when durant was out in spurts. i think he could re-emerge at some point as a good player..but like u said..if he went top 5 or top 10, he'd be on a shytty team where he could get more PT and put into a role with a lot of leeway.

Austin Rivers is underrated. Never got the chance to fully develop or show his true talent. Good trade.
