Aminu is a perfect example. He was garbage last year.

I don't think Aminu was complete garbage last year. I thought he showed some ability and some flashes at times. He also didn't come in with the same hype and expectations. Also is asked to do way different things than what Rivers is asked to do. So to me, Aminu and Rivers is not a good apples to apples comparisson.
I will pull for the kid hard....but I just don't see it in him.

I think it is evident that the time spent as a starter on the Nigerian Olympic Team has paid dividends in his development as a player

As for Rivers, the kid has been thrown in the fire and is clearly not ready. This is likely one of those stories where it will either pay big dividends down the road for him as a player, or could ruin him and diminish his career before his rookie contract is over. Obviously I am hoping for the former as a fan....
