He's going to be a championship-caliber player in the NBA. Tons of talent and mad skills, buit it's his confidence, aggressiveness and drive that set him apart.
Those teams who pass up Austin rivers tonight are going to regret it big time because his game is phenomenal and made for the nba. Those teams who passed up marshon brooks and iman shumpert last year are gonna regret it as well in the future.
that's just the duke play style.. he can penetrate and get to the basket and he can shoot from outside the arc..u don't even know. duke made him play like this thats why he went to the NBA, hes got the mentality and the skills to be a big time player in the league
to end all arguments, 'rivers' will be good in the nba because he will not be at duke on a team of spot up shooters, if he was on an athletic kentucky everyone will be raving like he's john wall, and he is confident not cocky, him and his dad's work ethic make him this way, truly cut from a different cloth
Sucks that Gordon isn't really happy about playing for NO, but if he does end up being dealt through a trade, Rivers is going to get a great opportunity to shine
Trust me bro Im sooo pissed raps passed on him. I bet u anything this guy is gona come out the best from this years draft. He will be better than Anthony Davis and everyone else. He has that hunger that all of the greats have like Kobe, Wade, Lebron, Jordan and etc. And every team will surely regret passing him, especially raps
@NikTheQuik He's not really putting up great numbers this year. This was his first really great game. I think he'll stay another year. He should take on a larger role next season and he will likely be a top 2 or 3 pick in 2013. If he comes out this year, he probably won't make the top 5.
has that ever happened b4 in the nba? a coach and a his superstar son on the same team? wouldnt that be unfair to his teammates coz doc would draw up plays for him every single possesion.
if u look at 2:24 there is a guy in a red shirt directly behind the hoop. After the shot goes in he thinks it missed and starts celebrating and than pretends like it never happened lol.
Umm the fact that you say all Ray Allen does is "shoot" just proves you know less of basketball.Ray Allen must work in order to get open to GET THE BALL AND SHOOT. Also running up and down the court like 40 times or more a night? Every year he gets less athletic, they need a good young SG by the next 2 years because if they keep Allen until he retires who knows what will happen before that year? He may get a career ending injury. The older you get the lest durability you have.
LMAO I WATCH THIS ALL THE TIME, AND IT STILLS GIVES ME THAT CRAZY,FEELING . OF WEN I SAW IT LIVE. #DUKE 4EVER& RIVERS CLUTCH GONNA BE SUCCESSFUL IN NBA! AND TARHEELS SUCK
That takes huge balls to take a shot like that in a situation like that
His quote "Im gonna make an impact this game" really meant ima go off lol
One of my fav Duke vs Unc games of all time 💯💯💯
I never forget watching this game I knew he was goint make that shot 💯
And that my friends is game. Unleashing what you got, whenever you've got to.
He's going to be a championship-caliber player in the NBA. Tons of talent and mad skills, buit it's his confidence, aggressiveness and drive that set him apart.
This KID put his team on his BACK ! CLUTCH
OH OH OH unbelievable
young kobe in the making
MVP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
lmao that boy got ice in his veins. dean dome just became rivers dome. LGD!!!
funny because every other analysts have said hes going to be even better in the nba than college
Those teams who pass up Austin rivers tonight are going to regret it big time because his game is phenomenal and made for the nba. Those teams who passed up marshon brooks and iman shumpert last year are gonna regret it as well in the future.
THATS WHY HE WAS THE NUMBER ONE PLAYER IN THE COUNTRY
A. Rivers!!! The only reason I've ever watched a DUKE game.
So clutch
@dredrift59 as a toronto fan I'd defff consider him with our first how's his playmaking?
that's just the duke play style.. he can penetrate and get to the basket and he can shoot from outside the arc..u don't even know. duke made him play like this thats why he went to the NBA, hes got the mentality and the skills to be a big time player in the league
same here. was a wild cat man before he came to duke
The guy has a long range game like Jimmer, pulling up in people's faces from way deep.
I've noticed lately that Rivers has been taking more NBA range 3 pointers. Good look on him. It'll only make him better.
Yeah Austin definitely got game, I could see him leaving Duke and possibly being 1st round draft pick. Which pick, I don't Know? Go Duke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That one dude who tried to distract him
I've seen tweets about it. Is he Doc River's ( Celtics coach ) son?
Yes
Thanks :)
Did anybody else notice at 1:26 when he was saying "OOOOH" it sounded so dull lol
He is a Carolina fan or he bet on them lol ☺️
He is a tarho
I mean he's like 187 years old
@84HeavyDuty this is a true statement
Lmao at the guy's face in the Beat Duke shirt @ 1:54
@iTzApArTy100 He still beat you guys.. And will go all the way to the NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP BABY!
im surprised how much strength hes got for his sizes
what was his fg % ?
oh oh unbelievable
Haven't seen much of his game, but does anyone think that Delonte West is a fair NBA comparison with respect to his size and style of play?
to end all arguments, 'rivers' will be good in the nba because he will not be at duke on a team of spot up shooters, if he was on an athletic kentucky everyone will be raving like he's john wall, and he is confident not cocky, him and his dad's work ethic make him this way, truly cut from a different cloth

LOL @ Doc! But I'm worried for Austin, cause his left hand is really weak.
If he would've missed we would've lost.
well no shit lol
MTen12 3 yrs later stil funny lmfaoo
Listen i was young asf when i said this
no way, i love rip hamilton =(.
he should go to the bobcats, they deserve a chance next season
@NikTheQuik He's not really putting up great numbers this year. This was his first really great game. I think he'll stay another year. He should take on a larger role next season and he will likely be a top 2 or 3 pick in 2013. If he comes out this year, he probably won't make the top 5.
He was fine for the Indiana-Kentucky game earlier that season.
@BillyHoyle15 he can use his left just as he can with his right just that noone can guard him much less force him to go up wiht his left
lol @ all the NC fans!!!! perfect timing!
he might not get drafted to that team even though i want him to but hes gunna b top 15
In case you didn't know, the celtics weren't doing so hot 2 months ago when I posted my comment.
Still don't see how they needed "saving"... Especially from Rivers with Rondo killin it all year.
I agreed with everything you said up to the last sentence. Ahead of Steph Curry? There's no way.
Hope the trailblazers can pick him up, he'll good nice with a good PF lik LA and could make my team a force in the NBA
@mikeballa2001 hes a number one guard in the country .. forgot about ANTHONY DAVIS BUDDY #BIGBLUENATION
@psc93krp yes ! :P
2013 round 1 pick 5 austin rivers to the boston celtics jersey number # 25
With the 10th pick in the NBA draft, the New Orleans Hornets select..... Austin Rivers !
If he ever gets a mid range game.....boy.
Whoever was guarding him should have been in his grill with two secs to go. He had a real comfortable look.
has that ever happened b4 in the nba? a coach and a his superstar son on the same team? wouldnt that be unfair to his teammates coz doc would draw up plays for him every single possesion.
He can make dagger threes. He's similar to Reddick, so he'll be an slightly above average in the league.
His names not rose 1:25 Smh
Dick is a tarheel fan I think. He wasn't really excited as he usually is lol 😓🤣
austin rivers playing in boston with rajon rondo would be gun
He talks a lot, shoots a lot but he backs it UP!
ur raw
funny how the announcer says oh oh oh with a monotone at the end
Welcome to New Orlean Hornets !
MIKE KRZYZEWSKI SURVIVED.
Next week YaY !!!!!!!
still can't do that in the summer league
He looked like he was back in HS tonight.
HE'S a Hornet.
Or maybe even a Devin Harris type of player?
what do y'all mean hopefully he dosent end up like kobe. Kobe is a top10 player all time . Maybe even aTop 5 player all time its debateble
if u look at 2:24 there is a guy in a red shirt directly behind the hoop. After the shot goes in he thinks it missed and starts celebrating and than pretends like it never happened lol.
I hope to pheonix
Someone has to tell him that he has to use his left hand more!
Future Hornet. I'm calling it now
@psc93krp yes sir.
@sandman1347
won't even be lottery if he comes out this year
ha. look at the crowd's reaction
Its impossible for Vitale to sound anything but, with his old ass self
Austin Rivers seems like a fun guy... a shame he went to Duke
to bad he's not having a good rookie season
He a Hornet now!
did anyone else notice the horrible enthusiasm by the announcers?
soooo fucking true
Maybe he'll learn because we dont want him to become a very worse Kobe
this is why the celtics are losing, doc is watching games instead of coaching his celtics
Imagine if C's players punk him, Wat would Doc say?
yea me too
The rockets are gonna draft this kid!
The TWolves should trade up for him!
His jump shot is similar to Dwayne Wade a lil bit
debatable
bump you'll never be smarter than me..... btw austin rivers 10th pick
Umm the fact that you say all Ray Allen does is "shoot" just proves you know less of basketball.Ray Allen must work in order to get open to GET THE BALL AND SHOOT. Also running up and down the court like 40 times or more a night? Every year he gets less athletic, they need a good young SG by the next 2 years because if they keep Allen until he retires who knows what will happen before that year? He may get a career ending injury. The older you get the lest durability you have.
heartbreaking lmfaoo
Well soon Austin is gonna be playing against his dad
Lol at 1:25 the commentator Oh Oh Oh
LMAO I WATCH THIS ALL THE TIME, AND IT STILLS GIVES ME THAT CRAZY,FEELING . OF WEN I SAW IT LIVE. #DUKE 4EVER& RIVERS CLUTCH GONNA BE SUCCESSFUL IN NBA! AND TARHEELS SUCK
dude.. no NBA player wants his dad as a coach
chances of him falling too Chicago. 0, but one can dream
@wtfmynig If you want somebody to teach a basketball player on how to not be a ball hog, on how to be a team player, you choose Coach K #1...always
In a Boring, unexciting voice: Ohhh, Ohhhhh, Unbelievable.
