I saw him play Miami at Miami and Lakers in LA but you're right, probably shouldn't call him a bust after a year. He was a backup too. I just had high hopes for him coming out of college.

Well Rivers will never be a starter. He really didn't understand even the basics last year.

How can you call Rivers a bust after only one year in the NBA? He should have stayed in college another 1-2 years, not to mention he missed the last 21 games with a broken hand. I am a bit biased though

I wouldn't count Rivers out right now. It's still to early. Some players take a little time. Once the game slows down for him, he may become a serviceable guard in this league.

The numbers never lie.

FG% 37%, FT% 55%, PER (5.9)

Stat-wise, no positives.

evanturner, cut the kid some slack, lol (those are some horrible numbers). Remember they didn't have too much to be happy about on that team. Davis didn't even show promise until the second half of the season.

How dare you compare Rivers to Davis!

Anthony Davis's #s: 13.5ppg, 8.2rpg, bpg+spg=3, FG% 51.6%, FT% 75.1%, PER (21.8)
