Austin Rivers and dat progression?

That is true. He's at 42.9% right now at the rim and that's basically unacceptable. If he does add that, yeah, he'll look better, but I'd suspect you can say that about a lot of guys who have issues finishing. I'm not sure what evidence we have that he's going to figure that out.

From 3-9 feet: 21.4%. Oh lawdy lawd.

he was doing that same ish at Duke...trying to be cute and finger roll around the rim...he needs to be just as aggressive as when he drives, try to dunk more...and also looking for contact around the rim.

1st four SGs drafted this year:

Beal - 12.5PPG 36%FG 29%3PT
Waiters - 14.4/36%/32%
Ross - 7.4/42%/35%
Rivers - 7.3/34/36

For Rivers to get all this hate, but Waiters/Beal to not get any talk is a bit unfair. None of these guys are doing very well, all shooting at a very low percentage.

If anyone was defending the play of any of them I think they would get their due, they're all shooting like crap. And Ross is getting like half the minutes of the others so I don't think he should really be in the comparison at this point.
