Celtics Coach Doc Rivers' Son Austin wanted by Everyone after Decommitting in April 2010

Celtics coach Glenn "DOC" Rivers is the mastermind behind the latest Celtics run in the NBA. But going back, Doc was one hell of a player in the Chicago Area power known as PROVISO EAST HIGH SCHOOL PIRATES in Maywood, Illinois. Some of the players out of Proviso East basketball minds know them well:

Shannon Brown (Michigan State, Lakers), Dee Brown (Illinois,Utah Jazz, Washington Wizards),Michael Finley (Wisconsin, Phoenix, Dallas, San Antonio, Boston), Donnie Boyce (Colorado,Atlanta Hawks), Stephen Hunter(DePaul,Orlando,Phoenix,Denver), Sherrell Ford (UIC, Seattle Supersonics), and many more. You get the picture right. Glenn went onto star at Marquette where he had a stellar college career.

Drafted by the Atlanta Hawks, Doc went on to show the ability to lead and be a coach on the floor with some of those fantastic Hawks teams with player such as:

"The Human Highlight Reel" Dominique Wilkins (Georgia), Tree Rollins (Clemson), Randy Whitman (Indiana, Now asst coach under Flip Saunders in Washington), Cliff Levingston (Wichita State), Antione Carr (Wichita State), John Battle (Rutgers), and Jon Koncak (SMU). These core of Hawks battled for eastern conference supremacy with the likes of the C's, 6ers, Bucks, and Cavs.

Now This brings the BLUEDUDE to enlighten you about the middle son of Coach Doc Rivers. Oldest son, Jerimiah Rivers, plays at Indiana after transferring from Georgetown.

Meet and Greet the 6'4" 190lb or so combo Guard (PG/SG) out of WINTER PARK HS IN THE ORLANDO FLORIDA AREA AUSTIN RIVERS . Rated by so many as the #1 High School Boys Basketball Player in the land, AUSTIN is a matchup nightmare for anyone on the scholastic level. I have seen him play a few times on TV and numerous things pop out immediately: A high Basketball IQ, Court awareness, Unlimited range on the shot, ability to take anyone off the bounce and get to the rim, a mid-range game that is so rare to see on the scholastic level as well as a runner,tear-drop type shot that even NBA guys don't posess in their arsenal let alone HS and College , and if you run at him with 2-3 guys he just gets teammates involed with his slick passing ability. Reminds the BLUEDUDE of a mix between Anfernee "Penny" Hardaway(Memphis State,Ball-handling, Passing,Bounce ),Jason Kidd ( CAl- Berkely,Passing, Court Awareness,Defense Anticipation),and range like Mike Miller(Florida,Spot-up or off the bounce Shooting). The kid is flat-out an assassin when he gets into the gym.

Austin early in his sophomore year of HS verbally committed to Coach Billy D and the Gators. Now as of April 2010 he decommitted from UF Gainesville and they are all coming like Great Whites with Chum in the water . You know the Usual suspects:

A September Visit to Rock Chalk Jayhawk land and Coach Self, to October 1 visit to Chapel Hill and Coach Williams, and October 15 visit to Durham and Coach K. With all these College Powerhouses in the mix, including the gators, Coach Donovan and the Gators will have a hard time reeling Austin Back In to the SWAMP.

The Bluedude will let u know Austin's whereabouts when ever he puts his John Hancock on the National Letter of Intent. But until then if you are on Winter Park'schedule just be prepared to see Sportscenter Highlights, Youtube moments, Splash Plays,and all the above because the young man is no joke.
