Hard to believe that Brandon Knight was ranked higher that Kyrie Irving coming out of High School. Thank goodness for the NBA minimum age limit.

That's pretty strange considering Kyrie Irving only played like 13 games and ended up being taken #1 overall. I was thinking that was more from his hs hype than what he did in college. It's not like he took them far in the tourney either, as Derrick Williams destroyed them in the tourney.

Kyrie Irvings playing time in college was definitely limited, but the stats for his freshman year were head and shoulders above any other PG for that years draft.

Some argued that limited playing time inflated his stats, but the opposite appears to be true, in that limited playing time dimishes a players stats.
