The article that I am writing about is called "Duke's Rivers enters NBA draft, early hires agent." This story talks about the freshman guard on his early appearance going to the NBA draft hoping to be near his family. During college, he played for Duke for one year. Austin Rivers is the son of Boston Celtics head Coach Doc Rivers. During his college career he averaged a team leading 15.5 points and was selected as Rookie of the Year. He is the third Duke freshman to lead the team in scoring after Johnny Dawkins in 1983 and Bill Sapp in 1945. Austin Rivers is really a competitive player but I think he is not on that NBA level yet. He should have played for Duke for at least 2-3 years. Averaging 15.5 points is not NBA numbers. For him to be in the NBA and dominate he has to at least score 20-30 points to average the team leading. No doubt he will be the talk of the town when he first go the NBA but one question is that will he show magnificient talent on the court. If his dad picks him up for the Celtics I believe he should not be able to start because he is definetly not on rondos level and will not be able to give the celtics that win. So I believe that he made his choice to early.
