Let it be known that he was statisticly one of the worst players in the national basketball association
As one of the youngest players iin the NBA. That's a pretty big detail btw.
He's worth bringing back because he has literally gotten better every year. He can finish with contact, gets to the rack, and his defense actually is good. Totally worth reinvesting in.

Well he was a rookie. Rookies are young. But he's not even close to being the youngest in his draft class.

"literally gotten better", meaning he now shoots 40% from the field instead of 37%
His per 36 numbers are nearly identical his first 3 seasons. The only legit improvement he has made statistically is FT%
His skill set overlaps with 3 other guys on our team who all happen to be better than him. Id rather invest money in a guy with plus NBA skill, whether it be a shooter, passer, defender etc

It's his third season. I think we expect too much from these kids sometimes. Look at a guy like Green in San Antonio. He didn't get real PT until his third year when he was 24. Now he's a solid role player. That's all I think Rivers will be. You may not like that he was drafted so early, but better to develop a solid bench/situational guy than cut him lose. (Depending on salary demands of course.)
