Where are all those loud Kyrie doubters now?
Seriously.
They're going to insist that they are right until he wins the Celtics a championship. Stubborn.
I think they’re going to insist that Kyrie has yet to show he’s as good as IT, let alone better. Then throw in the BRK pick, Crowder, Zizic.
IT had 31 games of 30+ points last season. Kyrie has one. He’s an exciting player, and a very good one, but that doesn’t mean we got good value.
And we all know that 30 point games are the best metric to compare players by.
Kyrie has clearly established himself as the better passer of the two, he it is already clear it is much tougher to trap Kyrie, because he can pass out instead of have to jump and get a risky pass off.
He is also a significantly better defender for us.
I absolutely love IT, but seeing Kyrie run the show makes it clear he is by far a better fit.
