I went back and looked up a few articles to see if I remembered correctly. http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/sports/basketball/nba/2011-06-23-kyrie-irving-draft-cover_n.htm says he was for-sure a top2 pick, but speculated that Cavs might go with Derrick Williams instead. I remember there being quite a few people who thought the Cavs might choose him over Irving. The article also mentions that Chad Ford said Irving was good at everything, but not great at anything, and that he said that Irving was a notch below the CP3 types. There were other high-profile sportswriters who were saying similar things at the time. Now, it's looking like Irving will be a top5 point guard in the next few years.
The dudes a monster, he has the best handle iv'e seen out of a point guard. When is this guy becoming a UFA lol?
