I dont have a valid Opinion because i dont follow college Ball, but im told he Is better than Kevin love or Blake griffin RIGHT NOW, utterly dominant defensively and could have an instant Dwight Howard-like impact on whatever team is lucky enough to get him.
If the Cavs land him... I might put money on them winning a title in 4 years. Between he and Kyrie Irving (phenom)... forget it.
Kyrie Irving is good but has absolutely no it factor and already has an injury history, I know he has great shooting numbers but calm down a bit
First of all, I said I didn't have a valid opinion, because I don't follow College ball. Lol
I also think you missed the part where Kyrie Irving was a 19 year old rookie on a terrible Cavs team... suddenly the team's go-to player after playing
11 Games in College... trying to learn the hardest position in the NBA... getting double teamed... and yet still managed to average (in about 30 minutes) 18.5 points, 5.4 assists, 3.7 rebounds, 1.1 steal on 47% shooting, 40% from three and 87% from the line. That's unreal, my man. Find me another 19 year old who had those kind of shooting percentages. Kobe averaged like 7 points on 40% shooting as a rookie. King James and Durant both were like 42% shooters as rookies. It's almost unfathomable what he was able to accomplish as a teenage NBA Rookie... with 11 College games separating him from a high school senior. Unreal.
No "it" factor? Uh... ok. Look... he might not turn into a megastar, but it's pretty underrated what he was able to accomplish. I have to say it's a bit funny to hear someone say Kyrie has no "it" factor... what is "it" factor? How were you able to determine he lacked said "it" factor? Watch a lot of Cavs games last year?... Knowing zero about you, I'd still be willing to bet this 5 minute video is probably the most either of us have watched of Kyrie Irving play this year:
