He's a good prospect but certainly overhyped by many, many teams fanbases.


Totally agree. Never understood the Chris Paul stuff. Much more Jay Williams or KJ.

Jay Williams was a pretty good prospect though, pre-injury, no?

At the same time I think Kemba is a much better facilitating PG than people give him credit for. I don't think the gap between the two players is as big as people think. Kemba's problem is his height.

Yeah, but I meant more type than level.

Is anyone hoping Duke loses so Irving's draft stock lowers a bit?

lol, you're still delusional, they're playing ball movement right now, swinging it to singler, and getting nolan smith involved to slash right at the basket, instead of having irving control the whole offensive sequence.

This. Are you joking me ? Irving is the best PG prospect in the draft, and hes pretty traditional if you ask me. Its the system not him.

Irving still looks like the clear cut #1 guy. It doesn't matter what you've been telling people for 4 months. He hasn't played since early December.
