Austin Rivers leaps to top of 2011 class
Posted Sep 9, 2010
Point guard Austin Rivers overtook former No. 1 Michael Gilchrist for the top overall spot. That change came thanks to Rivers' incredible summer, which included a handful of impressive televised performances and a brilliant, gold medal-winning run for the USA U-17 team. Gilchrist, who had a pretty good summer himself, fell to No. 2 overall. The new No. 3 is not exactly a surprise, given the late-arriving buzz surrounding Anthony Davis, who moved from No. 12 in the last list to No. 3 in this one.
