Guys,

I've noticed pretty much every mock draft has us taking Rivers at 10. I am definitely a fan of Rivers bc I don't believe these type of players come around that often. Great first step, cross over will break defenders down and he can stroke with the best of them. Gotta remember too that yes, he did go to Duke (whom everyone loves to hate) and he is the best player and son of a great NBA coach. Of course he got EVERYONE"S best game in college.

My thought: Pick Rivers at 10, play him at STARTING SG (6'5") and then play Mr. Gordon at PG? Look I've attended many games last year and the ones Gordon played in it seemed he had the ball in his hands, especially towards the end of the game. This way you now have EG, RIvers, and AD23 on the floor at all times. We also have money to pay a starting 3 or roll with Aminu at 3?

Gordon
Rivers
Aminu/Gay?
AD23
Davis

Then the following year you again have enough $$$ to pay a real Center. Don't wanna say Howard bc I don't like his attitude or loyalty buuuuttt....just sayin..

Ur thoughts would be greatly appreciated. I love this game lol

Handling the ball in the half court is not all there is to being a point guard. They also have to bring the ball up court and get the team into the right plays. Gordon has good handles, but he's not exactly a floor general.

Rivers is a combo guard just like Gordon, at the end of the games I would like the combo, still would like a traditional point starting.

Also fwiw, I don't think Rivers will be there at 10.

Pretty much any mock draft or person who wants to take Rivers wants to leave Gordon at SG and thinks Rivers can play the point.
