Trade SZN is in full swing! Ever since the Derrick Rose acquisition, Austin Rivers has joined Coach Thibodeau’s Island of Misfit Toys and has been completely phased out of the New York Knicks‘ rotation.
Austin Rivers had his fair share of moments off of the Knicks’ bench this year but has been far too inconsistent to remain a key cog in New York’s machine.
Some of those moments include a 15 point performance against Indiana where he shot 3 for 6 from deep in a huge Knicks win and a blistering 23 point performance off the bench in a huge win against the NBA’s best team, Utah Jazz.
