I think Porter will surprise some people and give the Wizards a productive season. He looked great in the summer league and hopefully his improvement travels into the regular season. Rivers meanwhile...

Porter had injuries early last year, I expect he will look much better this season.

His father was actually a really good defender, and was a waaay better player than Austin.

Re: Austin Rivers = BUST
Really should have stayed in school. Game was way too raw entering the league, but he was chasing that money. Rode his name and North Carolina game winner all the way to the draft.

I saw some games where he played in college. agree on should have stayed in school.
but it's probably more about his work ethic than anything else in terms of his performance in the NBA so far.
he HAS the ability to get the shot off, how he isn't a consistent shooter (stamina/form/etc) as well as those piss poor FT%.
he could be a mini Durant for all we know, but he needs to knock down those shots.

Re: Austin Rivers = BUST
He'll never be a starter on a legit team. I think he can hang on a roster somewhere for like 10 years because of his name though.

well, he's got 2 more years left on this contract.
I don't see teams eager to give him a contract longer than 2-3 years right after this if that.
so you're saying he will hang around the league with about 3 more teams willing to hand him a contract.
unless he has a break out season.

Certainly looks that way.
Would like to see him on a different team before 100% writing him off.

Y, guys like Telfair Rivers Mayo got too much hype and just couldn't translate their game to the next level, USA loves to hype players and talk about "next someones" but they don't always pan out.

Re: Austin Rivers = BUST
I assumed this bump meant he got waived. He has a team opt out after this year and the Pels got stuck when the salary cap was a few hundred grand less than expected. It left them trying to find a way to consummate the Asik trade which all of a sudden became illegal.
The most widely speculated option was to waive Rivers. I still think it will happen before the cap locks in.
A top 10 pick that is waived after his second year is OFFICIALLY A BUST.
