Insider so no link, but
on replacement player

Rivers projects to rate nearly seven wins worse than a replacement-level player..... which would be the worst WARP score in the 34 seasons on record, starting with 1979-80, the first NBA season with the 3-point line.

So a "replacement player" is what, exactly? It's the type of player who is easy to find when a team needs a replacement. To find a good example, look no further than Hornets guard Brian Roberts, who went undrafted out of Dayton before starring overseas and signing with the Hornets after a successful stint in summer league. Roberts has been far more effective than Rivers as both a scorer and distributor while making the NBA's minimum salary.

Yeah, he's definitely more worthless than DJ Mbenga

He's been absolutely terrible, there's no getting around it. That doesn't mean he won't eventually be decent, but he's an awful player right now.
I keep hearing a lot of, "he's only 18 months out of HS," talk. As if that's something unique to him. There's been a consistent flow of guys coming straight from HS, or 1 and done to the league, since the mid 90s. He's in the same spot that every other elite HS prospect of the last decade+ has been in, except his not riding the bench like some of them did and he's much worse than those who played.

I haven't caught the last few games but hasn't he played a little better recently?

He definitely got off to a rough start, and these advanced stats can be nice, but there's no way he is having the worst season of all time.

They should probably watch a game and see exactly how awful Roberts is at playing with a team. That would change their minds.

Never wanted the Hornets to pick him
