re: Austin Rivers: Looking back on the draft

In hindsight, Lamb would have been a better choice. Henson and Jones are nice players, but if Monty is serious about getting a Center and keeping Davis at PF, those two wouldn't do us much good at PF. If you can really only find 1 player you would have picked over Rivers 2 years later, then I would say it isn't a bad pick at all.

Maybe Harkless is another you would want, but it doesn't seem like he was ever in the conversation at 10, and he isn't exactly setting the world on fire either. Prior to the draft, out of the players expected to be there at 10 (not counting Lillard or Drummond), I really liked Terrance Ross, but of course the Raptors took him before we could.
