QUESTION: Isn't Austin Rivers basically another Stephen Curry?

[Muzion]

Curry is a much better shooter and passer

Rivers' game is similar to

 

[DoubleClutch]

Stephen Curry is a PG for the Warriors, and Austin Rivers is a SG for the Hornets. sources tell me they ARE NOT the same player

haha, I almost too this post serious until I saw the user name

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

If only Curry was healthy on the regular - he got the potential to be a top 5 player in the game

 

[O.iatlhawksfan]

The only thing they have in common is size and being lightskin (oh I see someone already took the joke lol)

Curry is a true point guard, Rivers will most likely never be.

I just worry about Curry's ankle...it's keeping him from improving. It's like he spends a portion of every year getting back to square one instead of spending that time in the gym building...that'll catch up to you when you're 29 and all your former peers surpassed you.

 

[Henry Orbit]

I think he could turn into a prime Arenas

You guys obviously haven't watched much of Rivers, just going off what people are saying clearly.

+the automatic Duke hate

the kid will do fine in the NBA, in the right system he can score 20+ a game in a couple years once he polishes up his game

I think he'll be fine. I just don't get how he's going to work next to Eric Gordon. They are going to try to force him into the PG spot but his mind doesn't have that type of makeup.

Exactly..

When I watch him play it looks like he thinks he's better then he is..

 

[Digga38]

I actually think he will be a pretty good pro once his body gets right...The Steph Curry compare are good...I think Rivers takes it to the rack much better tho

Is Jarrett Jack still there? ThEy should consider him coming in as a sixth mannn let him put in work from jump. If they bring back EG itll look gross in that backcourt imo.

no he isn't and this is another big similarity to rivers

[trick]

I think he's more like Drew Barry or Coby Karl. He's not going to as good as Damien Wilkins.

can't believe this came true

You've been wrong about a lot of things pertaining to basketball.
