I think it's unfair to call him a daddy's boy. Yeah, I know he's Doc's son, but he did have some game. He just didn't turn out to be as great as some thought he'd be
He would’ve been out of the league if not for doc long before he was. Yes he turned into a decent bench guy, but he was bad for so long any other team would have already given up on him by the time he became one.
At that time I thought he was the closest thing I saw to Steph going into the college level. Duke and Monty Williams ruined him and his confidence. Forcing him to be PG even though he really wasn’t a true PG.
Austin has one of the sickest HS mixtapes I've ever seen. But guys like him, Andre Drummond, and Perry Jones are the reason why I don't value highlight vids too much anymore.
He's good. not enough to be an allstar but enough to be a solid role player that could give you 10 pts consistently and can explode too. I wish teams would give him a shot or i guess hes asking for more.
10 years lol lol his dad is in the league. That’s what he did, play 10 Years so people like you can say use the emotional response he played 10 years and what did he do in those 10?
@treatman3634 He played 10 years because his dad is in the league? Why didnt Jordan or Shaqs kid play 1 year then? 🤔. The only emotional person here is you duke. Austin achieved more in 10 years than your hatin ass has in your whole life 🤭
Yea it does and we still hate it, ever seen someone lose a promotion to the bosses son that just graduated college? I haven’t luckily, but I know people who have and it’s murder inducing, wait till it happens to you one day
Hopefully BRonny can be half as good as Austin Rivers not gonna lie to you. I seen BRonny play last year at USC versus UCLA. He needs to do two more years.
-- On a different timeline, he stays in college 2-3 years, gets drafted later in the 2nd round. But STILL Makes similar money over a similar timeframe. Who knows. He was athletic and quick but he never developed the shooting ability. Plus he was coddled growing up so he never he had the mindset to be a Duncan so he just still followed the Harden way.
Highly highly doubt, if you look at how he developed I don’t think he would’ve got an nba chance if he stayed another year. Him getting to the nba was crucial for him to develop to a point to even stay. If he stayed another year nobody is taking a chance on him
Rivers had an advanced skillset for his age and thats what allowed him to dominate high school. However in college and the NBA his lack of athleticism caught up to him. I thought he still had a solid career as a role player though.
Former top ranked prospects in high that got exposed in college and flamed out in the NBA has many entries in this channel, as too the fact its the OG nepobaby and everything assuming a disaster for Doc Rivers at the bucks.
For being a top pick, he didn’t have an alright career. An alright career for a high draft pick is being a solid role player. Kevin Knox isn’t having an alright career.
@@notreallyafamousartist695 bro kevin knox is just sad bro…other NBA busts got hurt and had significant injuries…Kevin Knox had his heart ripped by Zion while everyone watched and that was the highlight of Kevin’s careeer lol
หลายเดือนก่อน
He was a baller at the Knicks. Love him while he was there. Truly embody NY hustle. Despite that nepo tag, he still has a very unique mentality.
Without Doc Austin would never had that many years in the league to develop his game. There are plenty of players who could not get it right before they finish their rookie contract. But hey, he took what he had and made it work, cant take that away from him.
Definitely wasn’t the best college career for a freshman but he had game where is good enough to be a solid player which came with the clippers and later in his career
He NEVER should have left Duke early. I watched every game that season. You could see his talent, but he had a TON of growing to do. Especially as a privileged kid, its not like his family was counting on his NBA money.
the one thing i did notice from his high school mix tapes was that he never finished with his left hand, even when it was clearly the correct way to finish.

Born to a NBA star, #1 ranked, Duke scholly, Dad trades for him and extends his contract, and plays 10 years to qualify for NBA pension. Life on EASY MODE
His Dad was a marginal player not a great player, Austin was a better player than his Dad. He simply came in with monumental hype and simply couldn’t live up to it.
This is the story of most people coming out of HS in every aspect. Most of the time things go to the ones you dont see working hard AF. LBJ and P Manning results cant go without a tip of the hat. Rivers is a success story period.
@@InfiniteCoreXDso how did he get a long career if he was bad and not because of nepotism. You literally just said he was bad, and then agreed with the previous comment that he had a long career, but not because of nepotism. So how did he get a long nba career?

@@InfiniteCoreXD "he wasn't even a good roleplayer" Think before you speak and remember to be a good person and to pay attention to the video before commenting.
He was good once upon a time then he started being like the majority of guards in the league. Slackin off on D, relying too much on threes which started being more erratic. At a certain point i started missing Frank Ntilikina at least that dude brought defense even if he had no aggression in his game
He’s a speed reliant guard who was never that fast. He had a fine career for what he was. Better high school or college player but he was a solid nba player
He got a little too much hate. He wasn't the best player of his class by far, but once he got his role established he was productive. Plenty of guys completely bust out and can't even get to a 2nd contract. Once he left college, I think the expectations were a bit more grounded. Nobody expected him to be amazing the second he got to New Orleans.
As a Clips fan, I loved having him on the team. The dude could ball. That being said, it was a ticking time bomb being the coach’s son, especially Doc Rivers. In my mind, he’s become overrated because of his dad
I guess it's not really his fault, but once I heard the rumor that doc denied a trade package for him that involved I believe carmelo anthony which was a big reason cp3 left I was done with both of them lol
Paradoxically, Austin Rivers is the definition of both bust and overrated. Bust because he clearly didn't lived up to the expectations and overrated because, even though he was a scrub, he still somehow managed to be considered by some sources as a "decent" player/starter.
New Orleans: Whomever decided on that Rivers pick (missing out Harkless, Founier, Crowder , Draymond...ok not that much talent after AD to be honest), I'm sure he got his ass fired soon after
He was the #1 ranked HS player, he got drafted in 1st round. Way more than Bronny, but Bronny will get carried as far as his dad can take him. Austin could've been a lot better, but he should've stayed at Duke another year under Coach K
If Austin RIvers was an All-Star, it would be funny if his father's curse of failing to hold onto a 3-1 lead would transfer to him so any team other he's on other than the Clippers will lose a 7-game series despite holding a lead.
I don't remember a ton of hype about this guy coming into the league. Ya, he's coaches son but in the NBA you need to earn that roster spot and he has a 10 year career where he made 10s of millions of dollars. I call that success so not sure what the issue is with him
To survive 10 years in the NBA meat grinder is no mean achievement. Therefore he deserves huge credit. However, I always felt that Austin Rivers tried too hard, had an over-inflated ego and believed himself to be a better baller than he actually was. In the end, neither his potential, nor his accomplishments could match the hype.
I watched AR a lot live when he was in HS and I couldn't understand why he was ranked #1. He was good but to me Anthony Davis had much more of an upside.
and he had one of the best takes i have heard from a player when he talked about "highlight culture"
He was a solid role player when he was on the rockets. It was fun watching him go off here and there
Austin Rivers was a very good role player. He played solid defense and was serviceable offensively. I'd say his Rockets days were his best.
I think it's unfair to call him a daddy's boy. Yeah, I know he's Doc's son, but he did have some game. He just didn't turn out to be as great as some thought he'd be
He would’ve been out of the league if not for doc long before he was. Yes he turned into a decent bench guy, but he was bad for so long any other team would have already given up on him by the time he became one.
That contract the Clippers paid him when Doc was running the team definitely smelled of nepotism. Even the players knew it was BS.
Any decent prospect with given opportunities can have a few good games
Shut up lol these grown men and acting like a. Woman. It’s sports if you suck we going call it out, he sucked bro let it go
Calling him a daddy’s boy doesn’t imply he doesn’t have some game
_It would be a miracle if Bronny can reach this level._
It's a miracle for most humans to have a 9 year career regardless of situation.

We haven't seen Austin play for a while because he's been spending much time on TV still waiting for whether another team gives him a chance.

As a kid, i never saw Austin rivers that good of a player during the mixtape era. I saw him as a decent player at best.

He didn’t get into the league off nepotism.. he was COLD in high school. I used to think he would be better than Drose , he had that much potential
I liked Rivers on that Nuggets team that beat the Blazers without Murray. Wished they resigned him the following year and he would've gotten his ship.
2:09 Luh Tyler HAS to be Austin River’s kid 💯💯💯
He’s a speed reliant guard who was never that fast. He had a fine career for what he was. Better high school or college player but he was a solid nba player
he was def a daddy boy cuz he would’ve been out the league way earlier if his dad didn’t keep signing him like a good Dad would
His best moment was making his father be ejected from a game while laughing his ass off
