I understand the sentiment of being happy for the guy, but objectively speaking, I think he may have a tough time adjusting... a very tough time.

Last year I was upset Kyrie left, but that was my personal selfishness. He was obviously pro-ready and if that's what he wanted, he made the right decision. I think Coach K definitely told him that too.

This Rivers situation does not feel the same.
Yeah, I think Austin is pro-ready. He will not start for anyone like Kyrie, but he will play some. By year 2 or 3, he will be a solid contributor, either in some team's rotation as first guard off the bench or as a starter. That first step is killer.
