    Default Austin Rivers vs Shabazz Muhammad

    Both were #1 coming out of high school.

    Who will be first to make the all star team?

    You mean the first to leave the NBA?
    Rivers

    Shabazz has Rudy Gay potential

    Austin Rivers calls himself "sub zero". Must be named after his win shares

    I knew Austin Rivers would bust one he got to the NBA. Lacked the athleticism and size you need.
    Shabazz, I thought he had Rudy Gay potential too as some others have said here. Didn't think he was all that talented, reminded me similarly to the hype that OJ mayo got.

    First to be an All Star...in the NBA...
    Either will have a long NBA career. Rivers may stick around because of daddy. Muhammad will stick around but not make much noise.

    Austin should sign with the Clippers so he can become a starter.

    Shabazz was impressive later in the season when they let him play. I remember he put up like 20 or something in a game and then they lowered his minutes every game after that. Adelman was a real ass last year. One thing that impressed me was his rebounding. He was our best rebounder at sg/sf IMO. He could be traded to the Cavs still. I hope not because he could be an excellent backup in the future. He can post up, shoot. I like him, he's really hard nosed and attacks. I was begging Adelman to put him in more all season but it never really happened. He'll probably be a starter someday but not sure if there will be a lot of room on Wolves or not. We'll see. He does look like a future star scorer but I won't get ahead of myself anymore than that.

    Rivers is undersized, not a great shooter, not a great athlete, and doesn't have natural PG instincts. He's crafty and I think he has an outside chance at being a decent role player who can score the ball if everything comes together but I go with Shabazz. Like his upside better, and Rivers himself is really risky if he doesn't improve.

    He was already significantly improved last year. His rookie year was even worse than that.
