Rockets: Austin Rivers talks potentially facing Nikola Jokic without a center

Once again, Mike D’Antoni appears to be at the forefront of a charge to evolve the game. By essentially removing the center position from his Houston Rockets, he’s banking on speed and offensive firepower over size and efficiency. Austin Rivers recently shared his thoughts on the revolutionary approach to the game.

On his podcast Go Off, Austin had Dallas Mavericks guard Seth Curry as his guest, who chimed in on what the Rockets were doing before the coronavirus forced the season to shut down. “I totally forgot you guys just threw the center position out the window,” said Curry.
