NBA 2017-18: Top 10 Iso Scorers During the Regular Season

#9 Austin Rivers

Rivers chose to wear the #25 jersey, the same number his father wore.

Stats: 3.7 ppg on 44.3% shooting, 1.06 points per possession

When Doc acquired Austin Rivers in 2014 from New Orleans, it was nepotism at its finest. But over the years, he has managed to overshadow his roots in the league and has developed into a legit point guard for the Clippers as the spotlight shifted from the Griffin-Paul duo.

Starting out as one of the worst players in the league while playing for the Hornets, Austin Rivers has worked on his game A LOT ever since.

His shooting percentages have improved gradually and his confidence to take the 10th shot without hesitation even after missing 9 straight, is one rarely seen in the NBA. His smooth crossovers at the perimeter and slick ability to create drive-in lanes, taking contact on the way and still have the body control to finish at the rim all at once, make up a lethal package for any offense.

Although inconsistent on offense, Rivers had a bunch of pretty solid games for Los Angeles scoring 20+ points on 12 occasions, and 30+ points three times. Despite missing 21 games due to a concussion and right Achilles tendon injury, he had arguably the best season of his career in 2017-18.
