Austin Rivers, the son of Boston Celtics Coach Doc Rivers and a high school junior-to-be who has committed to Florida, led his team to the King City Classic championship Thursday in Cleveland.
Rivers played point guard for “Memphis,” which beat “Connecticut” 95-77 in the championship game. This Nike-sponsored camp drew 80 players and more than 100 college coaches.
Rivers will be a junior this coming school year at Winter Park (Fla.) High School. He fits the Florida mold of highly skilled player who lacks an imposing physical style.
Other players on the “Memphis” team included at least two Kentucky recruiting targets: 6-8 forwards C.J. Leslie (a high school teammate of UK incoming freshman John Wall) and Johnny O’Bryant of Cleveland, Tenn.
The “Connecticut” team had at least three players who mentioned UK on their lists: Adreian Payne of Dayton, Ohio, Quincy Miller of Winston-Salem, N.C., and Cameron Clark of Sherman, Texas.
