He was top 10 in catch in shoot 3 percentage
super small sample size
he took lass than 100 threes

He looked much better at finishing
45% at the rim on almost 300 shots
not a good shooter by any statistical measure

Mind blowing stat coming. You ready? Amongst regular players who took as many catch-and-shoot threes as Rivers or more......
only Kyle Korver, Lebron James, and Stephen Curry shot a higher percentage.
That stat is a little nugget from my @AustinRivers25 Season in Review piece coming next week. Is your mind blown?
Again, to recap. Amongst guys w/ 60 or more catch and shoot 3-pt attempts, the order goes: Korver, Lebron, Steph Curry, @AustinRivers25

In April, when Austin averaged 30 minutes a game, often playing against NBA starters, he had arguably his best month. He recorded his highest amount of assists while keeping the turnovers to a minimum, good for 2.47 ast/to ratio. He made 9 of 15 from beyond the arc, but more importantly, started taking and making midrange jumpers. From beyond 16 feet, he made 12 of his 24 attempts. And most impressively, his defensive rebounding numbers jumped to a sparkling 19.2%. According to the game logs, it was as though Rivers made it his personal mission to pick up the slack without Anthony Davis. Among the regular rotation over the final five games, Austin recorded the second highest defensive rebounding percentage (21.8%).

You must not have been paying attention to him in the 2nd half then when he got meaningful minutes.
He's a more complete player than roberts(
