    Wil AUSTIN "POWERS" RIVERS suck as a pro?

    So if you father was an NBA player, then they can hype you up as a great player????


    Just as they hype up Jennifer Lopez being the most beautiful woman in the world... and Matt Damon being the sexiest man alive????


    Lol, I don't see how the guy is any better than Bayless, who is an NBA scrub. Austin's father is wealthy and connected. He should 2 more years at Duke to get better. What's he going to jump to the NBA for...???? Money? He doesn't need it. His game is garbage.

    But I guess if your father is a coach who voted for Obama, well, then you're bound to make stupid decisions.

    He is not going to go anywhere near as high as Bayless went in the draft

    they got him as going #11 right now, I think will be lower though, but a lot of guys leave early to go 2nd round and undrafted, still a couple mill guaranteed you never know his stock might slip

    I didnt see anything that says he is even all acc. He played with a bunch of stiffs at duke. I don't see what the hype is all about. Coach K is probably glad he is gone.

    as a DUKE fan I wont be sad to see him go. all he has got is a weak floater shot and average from behind the arc.

    there was an insider article polling GMs. alot of GMs have him as a top 5 on their board because of his massive upside.
