Austin Rivers a Chip Off the Old Doc
Posted Jul 31, 2010
Austin Rivers is a 6-foot-4, 175-pound point guard with a feel for the game that is well beyond his years, playing with the maturity and intelligence of a coach's son, but with talents that usually don't come in that same package. He is more physically gifted than his father ever was, and his father was a pretty good point guard, playing 13 years in the NBA before retiring in 1996. Although Doc Rivers never has coached his son's youth teams, it's realistic now to think he might coach him someday in the NBA.
