The 10th pick? Do you know anything about the history of the NBA draft? 10 is considered one of the worst positions to draft from. Rivers was drafted for potential, not readiness.

but his game is still AAU style and he hasn't converted it yet.


Explain this. What is AAU style?

agree 100%


you would either have to have played in AAU tournys or experienced the style.

Most kids take their talents to College after AAU and either get groomed by good coaching or keep the street style play in them. I guess just depends what kind of grooming you had coming up. Not saying that Doc didnt bring up his son correctly, just think that he won't be a "stud" in the league. He will be very similar to what Doc was. I think he will be a nice role player when its all said and done. Hopefully the hornets benefit from it..well pelicans..
