Austin Rivers Called on Cassell for Mid-Range Game

IRVINE, Calif. – Austin Rivers was serious about working on his mid-range game this summer.

With a master of the art on the coaching staff, it only made sense to get in touch with assistant coach Sam Cassell, who flew out to Orlando and put Rivers to work.

“I’m talking about non-stop,” Rivers said. “Instead of working on everything, we worked on the things I wasn’t good at or the things that could take me to the next level, and that was the mid-range jump shot.”
