Kyrie Irving

[Ohio]

Givony reporting from the Nike Skills Academy:

Apparently Aaron Craft has been really holding his own defending Kyrie Irving here. Picking him up full-court and making him work.

Can't say I'm very surprised. Many laugh at the thought of Craft in the NBA. But the man can defend.

Doesn't surprise me. Easily the best on ball guard defender I have ever seen play personally, always positioned perfectly with great quickness and hands. Too bad about his offense though

That sounds like Craft to me, Craft never seems to back down on d, very high IQ which he uses to always plays smart

Craft would be a good back up PG in the NBA but he doesn't really care all that much about doing so

Yeah as others have stated Kraft is a nasty defender just goes to show you by playing Kyrie tight as we're hearing and most NBA PGs can't even do that, wish he'd consider trying to make a NBA team but I respect his decision..

His near 4.0 GPA (3.9) and future as a doctor is more enticing to him. Can't really blame him, he would have a really tough time getting playing time because of his terrible offensive skills regardless of how well he can defend a point guard.

Re: Craft.....As a recent medical school graduate I would personally advise him to go out for the freaking NBA. Do the Myron Rolle if you want, medical school will always be there if you're smart.

Edit: Just thought about it....one year in the league pays for more than his entire 4 years of education. Geez.

Kyrie made it on WorldStar! Too bad he was kinda getting outplayed. He had a couple nice plays towards the end though

It was a hack job on the editing

Yeah that's what I thought to. The dude prolly showed all of Watkins' buckets but only a few of Kyrie's to make it look like he got the better of him. And he intentionally showed Kyrie's misses.

My best friend Kam would've played behind him this season at Ohio State had he still been there but now it looks like he may start. Make sure y'all root for the Buckeyes next season =D

I can almost guarantee you Kyrie was not playing 100 %... I think the outcome of those matchups would be a little different if it was a real NBA game

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

Kyrie is a big partyer and I think it can be a big downfall. I have a friend who is real big in the Cleveland club area and gets VIP treatment and he said he sees Kyrie out all the time on game nights and before game days drinking his ass off. He was even killing bottles of Ciroc in the club before he was 21. I'm the hugest Kyrie fan ever but he had a couple sloppy games last year that I really believe came from partying to hard the night before. I don't care if he goes out and has a good time but he really shouldn't be doing it if he has a game the next day or at least getting falling over wasted.

I would be drinking too with all the losing that's been going on.

I'm not sure there is a time Kyrie plays 100%
