Definite Buckeye fan here. Excited to see Kam play next year! Does he see himself as a PG or more of a combo guard/shooter?

But for all the people talking about Craft as if he's done, he was only a Junior last year. He's back for his senior year and still very well may be involved in the draft process next year. With his med school aspirations, I can't see him being one of those guys that grinds it out in Europe or the NBDL for years, but if he gets drafted and makes an NBA roster as a backup, I think he would defer med school for the challenge and rewards of playing in the NBA

Lol, that's good to hear. You won't be disappointed. He can score in so many different ways it's crazy. With that being said I honestly don't know what he plans on playing next year. I would ask him but ever since he left for Ohio State training camp 2 weeks he only talks in our group chat like twice a week lol. He says they're working out A LOT and he's been really busy with the team. Imo though he's like a shooting guard trapped in a point guard's body so I could easily see him as a combo guard. Regardless though he's a born scorer...he'll put up big numbers if he gets time.
 
Anybody else think its crazy that he is already going into his 3rd year? Time flies.

I don't have a Twitter account, but someone needs to explain to Heisler that Kyrie is only a RFA in 2015(and only if he doesn't sign extension next August) and anyone stupid enough to offer him a contract would be wasting their time as we'd match a MAX offer for Kyrie in 1 second.

So that leaves him hoping LeBron signing with LAL in 2014 with the "hopes" that Kyrie makes it to UFA in 2016 and chooses the Lakers. Never going to happen. The Lakers do not wait around for 3-4 years. There salary situation will be maxed out again post 2014.

@NateBevilacqua You do realize Kyrie can be unrestricted in 2016? #WhoYouCallingDumbassYouDumbass?


HE SAID 2015... dude is a dumbass.
 
This is not meant as a knock on anyone else on the roster but we're really going to get to see Kyrie go into full PG mode with the additions of Bennett and Karasev. Kyrie does a good job of creating for Andy and Tristan, but those are plays where he delivers the ball on a cut for a finish or alley oops. With the refinement of Bennett's and Karasev's offensive games, Kyrie is going to be able to really have some awesome options and be able to pick and choose his videogame mode moments a little more sparingly.

There's no reason why Kyrie can't get 25ppg/8apg/5rpg on better shooting than last season this coming season. Our floor spacing is going to be 10x better, and his scoring options to which he can pass are going to be a lot better as well. Plus he'll be just plain better. He might also get a few more minutes per game, pushing him up to 36-38.
 
Kyrie's assists finally rising to 8 this season? I think so. Him and AB will be the toughest pick and roll matchup in the NBA, can't wait.
 
I love it.

I'm really happy Kyrie wasn't in MIA celebrating with #6.

Keep working and focusing on the Cavs, young fella.
 
Anyone else in Melbourne get down to Kickz101 earlier today to see Kyrie?

Pretty big crowd. He was there for about 90 minutes and felt like a mad rush to get everyone through. A mate & I managed to get a 24x36" poster we printed off last night signed which looks sick. Framing it ASAP! :thumbup:

I'll try get some photos on here in a bit.

Yep I managed to get down there.. waited from 8:30am. I was so star struck, I didn't know what to say. CRAZY! Kyrie was shattered that he couldn't sign his autograph for everyone. I happened to get a video of the crowd mobbin' him as he went into his car. http://instagram.com/p/bKvcIIlnCT/#

And this is just a photo of Kyrie and I.

I want one of those "Kyrie Gets Buckets Down Under" shirts. Anyone know where/how I could get my hands on one of those?

Where's his buddy WO lol
 
Wish I had time to get down there. Had other commitments. So glad the man came back down to where he was born! Champion
