Perhaps Wall would have been taken before Irving, but it would have been based on speed/hops/reach, not talent or NCAA performance.
Personally, I don't want the next Russell Westbrook, Derrick Rose, or John Wall as our PG ... it would be LeISO all over again, but just shifted to a different position on the court. It's telling that Dx nails Wall's upside as Westbrook, and Irving's as Deron. I'd prefer the later. Deron wouldn't struggle to share the ball with Kevin Durant.
The fact Kyrie chose Duke just means he's smart AND skilled. How many of those Dukie busts were top players in the nation coming out of HS? They sure didn't wreck Grant Hill, and if his season at Duke helped Kyrie avoid becoming a me-me player - all the better.
Not to mention, where's Roses, Brons, westbrooks and Walls rings?
