Austin Rivers proved a lot in the playoffs last season, and more than anything he showed that he’s developing a new sense of confidence that allowed him to carry the Los Angeles Clippers’ offense at times. Admittedly, it was only in short bursts, but it was still something we’ve rarely seen from Rivers. Regardless of his consistency he’s started to improve, which means that with even more talent around him to learn from, Rivers can continue to develop his game even further in 2015-16.
As for one area of his skill-set that needs some work, Rivers’ mid-range game could be far more consistent.
