Well, at least Hollinger disciples could be found clamoring this from rooftops
as Rivers PER jumped from 5.9 to 11.6. But in all seriousness, Austin did
show dramatic improvement in a number of facets despite many all-encompassing
statistics still regarding him as below average. Granted, that should have
been the likely outcome considering he was starting from the abyss, but
nonetheless, it was gratifying to witness Doc's son prove he belongs on an
NBA floor.
小河在今年有显着的进步，虽然还是有一些数据显示低於平均，但小河已经证明他属於
NBA。
Austin's 2013-14 season started very slowly as he appeared in only one game
out of the Pelicans first six. He was in direct competition with Brian
Roberts for the available sparse minutes behind Jrue Holiday, and Monty often
opted to go with the elder. However, as the year progressed, his opportunity
grew, and for the most part Rivers acquitted himself well. So much so, that I
asked Monty to move him into the starting lineup, ahead of Roberts for the
last month of the season. It didn't happen, but Austin drew the start in the
final four games of the season and he posted some very interesting numbers.
小河本季启动较慢，前六场只有出赛一场，他要跟太多人竞争，但随着赛季进行，他的
机会越来越多。到赛季剩最後四场比赛他甚至先发了，而且还有不错的表现。
Daring to Dream a Little Bigger
Since Rivers got thrown out of the second to last game of the season, for
getting into a tussle with Nick Collison, those statistics will be ignored.
In the other three games, Rivers averaged 18.7 points, 7.7 rebounds, 6.3
assists, 1.6 steals, 2 three's and 2 turnovers. The competition? The majority
of the time, Russell Westbrook and the tenacious Patrick Beverley twice. If
my calculations are correct, he posted a PER of just over 17.
由於小河倒数第二场比赛被赶出场，所以只算三场的成绩，平均18.7分7.7篮板6.3助攻
1.6抄截2颗三分2次失误。大部分都是面对西河和天空贝，PER超过17一点点。
Those per-game averages reduced to per 36 minute data measure up extremely
well in history. Even more so when the data is filtered to only 21 year olds.
Here is the full list of very young guards who averaged 15 points, 4 rebounds
and 4 assists on a per 36 minute basis:
以下的列表为21岁PER36有15分4篮板4助攻成绩的球员

That's only 13 names. Now before the small sample size police come knocking,
these numbers aren't completely out of left field. Check out the progression
in Austin's per 36 data by month.
但这只是小样本，还是来看他最後一个月的PER36
POINTS REBOUNDS ASSISTS (PG) STEALS THREES TURNOVERS
November 13.7 3.3 4.8 .7 .7 2.6
December 11.9 2.5 1.2 1.5 1.2 .7
January 14.1 2.7 4.2 1.3 .9 1.8
February 13.4 4.1 4.1 .9 .9 1.5
March 16.0 2.6 4.8 1.6 .8 3.0
April 14.3 5.4 5.5 1.2 1.3 2.3
In April, when Austin averaged 30 minutes a game, often playing against NBA
starters, he had arguably his best month. He recorded his highest amount of
assists while keeping the turnovers to a minimum, good for 2.47 ast/to ratio.
He made 9 of 15 from beyond the arc, but more importantly, started taking and
making midrange jumpers. From beyond 16 feet, he made 12 of his 24 attempts.
And most impressively, his defensive rebounding numbers jumped to a sparkling
19.2%. According to the game logs, it was as though Rivers made it his
personal mission to pick up the slack without Anthony Davis. Among the
regular rotation over the final five games, Austin recorded the second
highest defensive rebounding percentage (21.8%).
四月小河平均一场上30分钟，常常面对的是先发球员，这个月是他表现最好的一个月。
助攻失误比高达2.47，而且三分投15中9，但更重要的是，他投更多的中距离，而且还
会进。在16尺以上，投24中12。更让人印象深刻的是他的防守篮板率来到19.2%。在最後
五场比赛，更是高达21.8%
Does This Mean Anything?
这有什麽意义吗？
Short answer, yes.
当然。
Right before the 2012 NBA Draft, Chad Ford had some very demeaning words
aimed in Austin's direction:
在2012选秀前，Chad Ford很贬低小河
FORD: Look, Lillard was a late bloomer. He wasn’t lightly recruited until
his senior season. You may be right that Rivers would’ve put up better
numbers as a freshman. However, here’s my knock on Rivers. He thinks he’s
Kobe. He’s not. He doesn’t have the length, the height, nor the athletic
ability. Take those things away from Kobe, and he’s Ricky Davis — an
irritating ball hog no one wants to play with and who isn’t good enough to
warrant the diva act.
FORD：Lillard是大器晚成，到大四才被发现，也许小河在新人年的表现会比他好。这
是我个人对小河的看法，他觉得他是Kobe，他不是，他没有长度、高度和运动能
力。Kobe如果没有这些，就只是Ricky Davis，单纯只是个没人想要和他一起打
球的球霸
SIMMONS: Wow, you just waved two middle fingers at Doc Rivers — you compared
his son to his least favorite player to have ever coached. Why didn’t you
just throw a Dominique Wilkins barb in there while you were at it?
SIMMONS：你刚刚可是惹了老河，你将他的儿子比成他最不喜欢的球员。为什麽不只是说
成Dominique Wilkins就好了呢？
FORD: Lillard is a willing passer. Rivers isn’t and will never be. Lillard
made dramatic improvements from year to year. I thought Rivers was the exact
player in college that he was in high school. Lillard is a team player. He
was the second most efficient player in college basketball DESPITE being the
only decent player on his entire roster; teams game planned to stop him and
him alone every night. I just don’t see Rivers ever being anywhere near as
unselfish or efficient. I think Rivers will be shocked at the athleticism and
length at his position. He’ll try to do the same things at which he excelled
in high school, spend a lot of time on the bench, get into it with his coach
and teammates, get traded in a year or two to a desperate team, put up huge
numbers for a cellar-dweller for a year or two, make some money, and
eventually, teams will realize he can’t be the alpha dog on a winning team.
FORD：Lillard是个愿意传球的球员。小河不是，也不会是。Lillard每年都有长足的进步
我想小河大学和高中没什麽两样。Lillard是个团队球员，他是第二有效率的球员，
每个球队都想要守住他，我觉得小河在这两方面是看不到车尾灯的。我认为小河会
对同位置球员的运动能力和长度所吓到，他会一直待在板凳上，然後一两年後就被
交易，有时候会有些好表现，但最後球队会了解他不会是强队的一份子。
SIMMONS: Other than that, you’re a huge Austin Rivers fan.
SIMMONS：除此之外，你是个小河的死忠迷。
FORD: I honestly think Rivers is the one guy I wouldn’t touch in the
lottery. Too toxic for team chemistry, doesn’t have the same physical tools
to make it worth it.
FORD：我不会在乐透区选小河，对团队来说是毒瘤，而且也没有很好的天份值得去冒险
Ford wrote off Rivers after just one year in college, and although our 10th
pick in the 2012 NBA Draft didn't turn out to be an awful chucker, he had
scarce positives his rookie season -- thereby confirming in the minds of most
experts Austin was still going to end up a bust.
小河在新人年乏善可陈，因此在许多专家的心中仍然认为小河是假货。
From day one, what did I preach? (Check my signature the last several
seasons!) Austin Rivers was going to require patience and loads of it.
Remember, he just finished his age 21 season where he posted the following
per 36 minute statistics and other advanced numbers.
小河需要的是耐心，他才刚21岁，就有以下的成绩。
PTS/36 REB/36 AST/36 STL/36 TOV/36 TS% AST% TOV% USG% RIM FG%
14.2 3.5 4.3 1.2 2.1 48.2% 18.7% 12.3% 21.3% 53.6%
Hmm. Don't they look awfully similar to this line below?
PTS/36 REB/36 AST/36 STL/36 TOV/36 TS% AST% TOV% USG% RIM FG%
14.4 3.5 4.8 1.7 2.2 49.6% 21.6% 13.2% 21.8% 53.9%
That's none other than Jrue Holiday in his age 21 season. A player who
appeared in the All-Star game the following season.
两个成绩差不多，下面是Jrue在21岁时的成绩，而Jrue在接下来的球季就进入明星赛。
Now I'm not willing to state for the record that Austin Rivers will be
playing in next All-Star game. However, it should be obvious that he is
convincingly closer to achieving such a feat than ending up as some cancer on
a team who wasn't worth a lottery selection.
我不是说小河下个球季就会进明星赛，而是他并不是毒瘤，不值得在乐透区选他。
From his rookie season to the end of his sophomore season, Austin's
improvement has been significant. His FT%, 3FG%, TS% and TOV% went up by more
than 10%. His rebounding percentage increased by more than 20%. His free
throw rate by more than 30%. And his overall defense is now considered to be
above average. Don't look now but someone is knocking on the door of being a
viable and highly coveted 2-way player.
这两季他进步很大，他的FT%、3FG%、TS%和TOV%都上升超过10%。他的篮板率上升超过20%
他的罚球率上升超过30%，而且他目前整体防守被认为是高於平均，他未来是很有可能成为
很棒的攻守俱佳球员。
Before we get too far ahead of ourselves, Austin Rivers still has miles to
go. His free throw percentage remains worse than a lot of bigs in the NBA.
His pull-up game is notoriously poor. The mid-range game, well, outside of
making several jumpers from that area in the final few weeks of the season,
should still be considered absent. Yet, if we've learned one thing about
Austin, he'll spend every waking moment this off-season on working on his
deficiencies.
小河还有很大的进步空间，他的罚球命中率还是比很多大个还烂，他的跳投还是烂，中距
离除了最後几场还是烂。但小河季外还是花很多在他的缺点上。
The point of this review was to not only make it abundantly clear that Austin
is noticeably trending in the right direction, but there exists plenty of
hope it can continue. For instance, did you know Austin and his broken
jumpshot had the highest catch and shoot 3FG% on the team and the fifth best
mark in the league? Or how about the fact Rivers had the 6th highest points
per 48 minutes on drives in the league (Tyreke was 2nd)? That's a couple of
elite attributes right there. Although time will tell whether more follow,
I'm certainly willing to bet on him rather than against him. At age 20,
Austin nearly drowned in the NBA. At age 21, he learned to tread water. It's
not far-fetched to think he'll be swimming in the near future.
这回顾不只是在说小河目前的方向是对的，而且他还存在着很多可能性。譬如你知道小河
的跳投在C&S 3FG%是全队最好全联盟第五吗？或者知道小河每48分钟的切入得分是联盟第
六高(reke是第2高)吗？他才21岁，还有很大的可能性。
