    How about the fact that he is 3 years younger than Lillard? Lillard has been in college for 4 years....he is 1 year younger than established stars like Westbrook\Rose...He is not going to come in an light the NBA on fire at PG right away IMO, very few PG do.....

    Rivers was one of the top 2 HS prospects for a reason, he has fantastic 1v1 skills, can break down a defender and get into the paint and finish, a little unorthodox IMO, but he finishes and\or gets fouled....He will put pressure on defenders, get teams in the penalty...he can be and wants to be that go to guy...High bball IQ...He performed pretty darn well at Duke as an 18yr old freshman, given the cirumstances (lack of talent on Duke, thrust into go to role)...Give him 3 years to develop around better players and he will be a much better NBA player, his game is better suited to the NBA IMO..and he has the ability to be a go to guy and at an age 22, that Lillard is right now....

    I don't think he makes it to #11, I wish he would but TOR @ #8 or NO @ #10 look like spots for him to go at....

    If POR cannot get one of the Beal, Robinson, MKG or Barnes and that should be priority #1 IMO...then I would more than happy with Rivers or Waiters at #6, b\c it is looking unlikely that either will be there at #11....

    Heard Philly has been looking to get to 7 or 8 to get him, from GS or Toronto, with Iggy as the main piece.

    His college pedigree is worse than Lillard's and Lillard doesn't have one

    Damn, he was their best player and defender.

    Thabo is clearly, CLEARLY better than Harden, too.

    That excuse doesn't work in college. College is an audition for the pro's. The pro's is all about matchups.

    So?

    His career will be longer than 1 year, plus the fact the Blazers are rebuilding

    Roy didn't light the NBA on fire his first year

    It's a little different in college. You usually have your best players starting and playing more than 25mpg.

    Lillard at #6 worries me. Drummond scares the bejezus out of me!

    Harden is playing with ball dominating westbrook and durant. What is waiters excuse?

    Sounds awfully similar to marvin williams talk in college that led him being taken over cp3 and deron.
