Cant wait to see the measurements at the combine. He's listed at 6' 10", but I hope D-Will isn't another Beaz.

Holy crap, 60% from 3? Iguodala comparison?

In addition, Irving doesn't explode off the floor on his drives and overall plays well below the rim. He has neither strength or height to account for these deficiencies.

Again, he has some tools. He's an above average ball handler, but he uses that more to attack the paint or create space for his jumper. He doesnt play with great point guard IQ from a facilitating perspective.

omg you are clearly clueless, his change of pace and hesitation moves are in elite level and that can get him to attack the basket at will, and for u to say he doest have great point guard iQ...u are a joke, did u see how many times he facilitate to singler? and nolan smith is hogging the ball the whole game too

Guys....Derrick Williams is damn impressive. We would have to seriously consider this guy at the 3 spot. With Derozan, that is such a tandem. If not, we settle for Kyrie

To me it's more that he neither has the physical gifts of the freaks nor the special court sense that Paul has. He's good...but he's a tier or 2 below the top guys, imo.

we have 2 late blow-out.

There goes the end of Kyrie's college career. Hopefully the next time we see him play in its a Raptor jersey.

You guys are underrating his play making abilities.

oh well, easier path for UNC to the finals if they advance tomorrow

Can't see why D-Will can't play SF. I mean, he's quicker than our current SF.

By saying it's below Paul? That's not an insult.

Oh it was more of a comment to the other guy who said Irving doesn't have the IQ from a PG perspective.

I was thinking the same. But I'm no hardcore fan of college ball, so i dunno.

i always envision unc losing at the hands of duke...now i can seriously root UNC all the wayyyyyyyy!!! I think Zeller and Henson could have handled Wildcat's interior offense tonight, duke's big men can't play defense at all.
