Re: Kyrie Irving is the next big bust
Why? A kid who only played 11 games got picked #1 overall?

Re: Kyrie Irving is the next big bust
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.

He doesn't quite have a guy like Paul's natural passing skill and has to prove himself defensively.
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.

Great college starter
Re: Kyrie Irving is the next big bust
The irony is, as good as Irving is right now, he still isn't a top 5 pg on my book.
