Austin Rivers

I can see improvement in Rivers, which is all that was really expected this year. He is able to get to the rim fairly easily, he just has to finish better once there and hit his free throws if fouled. Both of those will come as he gets bigger and more acclimated to the pro game. The most impressive part of his game last night was his D on Kobe. You could see Kobe's eyes light up when he had Rivers 1 on 1, but was not able to do much other than dribble a lot or take a well contested shot.
