Austin Rivers Isn't a Fan of a Young, Promising Rockets Player

Former Houston Rockets guard Austin Rivers has mastered the art of giving trandpartent and authentic takes, even if the masses disagree. Rivers had the sports world in a frenzy just a few weeks ago when he suggested that NBA players can play in the NFL but NFL players couldn't cross over into the NBA. Rivers' most recent comments drew the ire of many Rockets fans, as he stated that Rockets forward Tari Eason isn't on the same tier as several of the Rockets' other recent first-round picks. Rivers was on his signature Off Guard podcast and began discussing the landscape of the Western Conference, prompting him to speak about his former Rockets.
