Yes, good thing ... what's your point? Wall is just as talented as Irving and more athletic.
He is?
I have Irving being far more skilled.. I don't know about talented.
Irving is by far a better ball handler, better isolation player, better scorer in general, better slasher, better clutch player, better shooter.
Wall is by far a better defender and likely always will be, a better passer, a better floor general.
I think Irving can become a top notch floor general and a great passer, I see those things as natural extensions of his present-day game. I don't think Wall will ever be as good of a shooter or pure scorer as Kyrie. The difference is that Kyrie is more impactful to games, in my opinion, overall, than John Wall.
Is it close? Yes. But only because Wall has come so far along and Irving has taken two steps back. If Irving starts improving from his rookie season, which is quite likely, I think the gap between them will grow substantially.
Not knocking Wall in the slightest, just acknowledging how good Irving really is. He is right there with Stephen Curry (but behind him after last season). I have him as the #4 PG in the NBA behind Paul, Curry, Westbrook. Going into this upcoming season I think he has the potential to be better than Russ, and that's saying a lot.
As of right now, I have Irving as the best PG in the Eastern Conference. In fact, he might be the best
guard in the Eastern Conference unless I'm forgetting someone.
