Who would you rather, Roger Mason? A guy like Roberts who takes away looks from your better players? I'm convinced these guys are only on the roster to make Austin feel like less of a disaster.

Do you keep Rivers on he floor to help build his confidence, or let him play as a detriment to the team.

I think on most nights he looks over matched. He's got potential. He has a quick first step. His crossover going to his left is legit. But the dude puts up too many running one handed floaters. I'm not impressed on his overall ability to finish.

And no, sadly there aren't any better alternatives. Another reason we've only won 6 games.

He was hitting that runner early on last night. He just came up short late. I like that shot for him and I hope he keeps taking it.

He'll be a better defender in time and if he can find a pull up jumper and significantly improve his free throw shooting he'll certainly become an asset.

Has he struggled? Absolutely. But I think he's displayed that he can play at this level. Consistency will be the biggest thing for him.

We're not winning many games with this lineup anyway. Rivers at least provided some scoring last night (5 of 11 is pretty solid), just made some really stupid passes/missed some open guys. Mason played 11 minutes and didn't take a shot. Each is a terrible option for any team that wants to win games, so let Rivers get some playing time.

It all ends tonight, though!
