Here's video of #1 HS player and Duke commit Austin Rivers (son of Doc Rivers) as he squared off against Kentucky bound and also top recruit Mike Gilchrist from a game that was played back on 1/14 (s/o to slamonline.com for the vid)...
Rivers gets buckets. Plain and simple. He finished the game with 38 while Gilchrist put in 22, but Gilchrist's squad came away with the 'W'. Whether or not Duke/Kentucky's star freshmen from this season stick around or jump to the league, it looks like both programs will be fine next year. Rivers is a legit 6'4 with deep range and insane handle, while Gilchrist is already 6'7, 210 and skills to play the small forward as well as anyone in the country.
Keep an eye out for these two for the next decade or so. You'll be hearing their names mentioned in hoop circles more often than not.

#LTSB Video: Duke Recruit Austin Rivers Drops 42 In Tourney
Duke Blue Devils recruit Austin Rivers, son of Boston Celtics head coach Doc Rivers, is really good. He's currenty ranked as the #1 college recruit in the nation and for good reason. The 6'4 190 shooting guard with the crazy handle and mad range hung 42 points on Dwyer in the City Of Palms Classic, and annual tournament held down in Florida. Here's highlights of the performance:
As you can see from the video, the young Rivers has a very bright future ahead of him. If all goes as planned and barring any last minute jumps to the NBA, Duke could feature the best backcourt in the nation that would include Rivers, Kyrie Irving, Andre Dawkins and Seth Curry. Talk about depth. The good fellows of #LTSB are fans of good basketball and will continue to keep you updated on the recruiting trail.
Shoutout to slamonline.com and ballislife.com for the footage.
