    Irving. Whatever Cleveland achieves now, is strictly Irving and him carrying a team all by himself is gonna make him better.

    Rubio is good too, but got better players on his team

    I said PG rarely lead teams to championships, whether pass-first PGs or scoring PGs. You need to build around a big man or an elite wing player, at least that seems to be the popular winning formula.

    And among those 4 PGs, there is 1 championship. And Kidd only won that because he happened to get on the right team in the twilight of his career.

    Again PGs don't win championships.

    I went with Rubio.

    His skillset is much more rare than Irving's. It is really tough to find a PG to do the things he can do.

    Shooting will come in a few years.
