Following potential 2012 draftees

He's also a lot more selfish. I remember watching a sports center highlight where the team playing Davidson stuck two guys on Curry, so Curry decided to play as a decoy, for the most part Curry stayed out of the way while His team played 4 on 3. I don't see Rivers ever considering doing anything like that.

This is only a problem if he plays pg. Rivers is a scorer and I would want him to play sg and be aggressive, and look to score.
 
If Perry Jones fell to wherever we drafted, would you take him? I think a guy with his potential you have to take and hope his outside shot can improve. Have Jones be more of a slashing SF. Then take Rivers as the PG and I'd love our future.

If we're picking 8 or later, no doubt.

Well I have a feeling with his potential he may go top 5 to 8. Speaking of P jones

I could see Jones dropping to at least 8, maybe past 10. The dude just sucks most of the time.

Being a freshman he could still be a top 5 pick, but by staying this year he screwed himself. His stats are nearly identical this year from last year.

Rivers has better teammates. If Curry had Duke players think it would be higher.

Despite all of Duke's talent, they never have a lot of high assist guys. Even Kyrie Irving only averaged about 4.5 (granted it was 11 games) and he's an elite PG who has been playing PG all his life. I think you guys are focusing too much on the numbers and ignoring the system he plays in.

4.5 is fairly high for a college freshman in his first 11 games. You would have to think it would improve over the year as he got into the soft ACC schedule.

So if 4.5 is fairly high for a college freshman, would that make Rivers assist numbers average since he is also a college freshman who isn't even playing PG?

His numbers are good for a SG, no doubt. I guess it is deceptive, the difference between 2 and 4.5, because the number seems small, but it's actually a pretty large difference.

Someone can achieve 2 APG by just find the occasional open shooter, but to average 4.5 in college means you are finding players for easy baskets much more regularly.
