Or five. It’s about potential.

Now, we can debate if Rivers really ever had that…

When do you take over for Squirt Helin?

I am an ACC guy and I watch almost all of the ACC games and being a student of the game, you didn’t have to be a rocket scientist to recognize that fact that Rivers was not NBA ready–not even close. Just because he had a nice step-back jumper and a decent cross over, everyone was crazy about this kid. Over 90 percent of the one and dones that enter the NBA now are not NBA ready. It would do the league a lot of justice if the league were to adopt the baseball eligbility policy. As it stands now, it normally takes these kids–and they are kid–at least three years before they play substantial dividends in the NBA.

Any coaching staff that allows this moron to throw up nearly 5 threes a game deserves to lose consistently. There’s a simple way of dealing with it, next time he throws up a 3, he’s done for the night.

Bobcats are garbage and deserve to be so.

The D League is for mere mortals! People like me do NOT go to the D League!”

He needs to play a lot. See you in March, Austin.

Coach K is a HoF-caliber coach. There was so much more he could teach Austin. He only got picked so high because Doc is his father and it’s a shame to see him come into the league prematurely.
