Why? A kid who only played 11 games got picked #1 overall?
I don't think he would be Greg Oden bust, he'd probably be a borderline star, but nowhere close to a Kobe/Wade/LeBron.
Maybe he will be a homeless man's Chris Paul.
But look at all the Duke players picked high overall, none of them turned out great. Dukes are softies.
[QUOTE=Nastradamus]I'd take DW #1, partially due to Cleveland potentially getting Knight at 4, but Irving will be a stud. He can get by anyone, he's got great size for the position, he's a very natural and talented shooter, he has a pass first mentality, is a natural playmaker. Can also take over as a scorer though. He doesn't quite have a guy like Paul's natural passing skill and has to prove himself defensively.[/quote]
You're talking about him like he has all kinds of experience and has done this routinely. Irving is a risky pick at #1. He's far from a sure thing. He only played 11 games in college, and most of that occurred early in the season. If you take away games against Princeton and Colgate, then he had 29 assists and 26 turnovers.
Aha, Kyrie is on ISH and mad as hell...... and trying to get this tread deleted.......:lol

Unathletic? :oldlol:
He sure does look like the next Jonny Flynn.
[QUOTE=RedBlackAttack]Everybody in Cleveland thinks Irving is 'the savior.'[/QUOTE]
I pulled a Michael J Fox and fixed :lol
The irony is, as good as Irving is right now, he still isn't a top 5 pg on my book.
