Trinity: A Beginning

  It's once again that time where the Larry O'Brien trophy is hoisted in the air and a team is permeating with victory and seeks the comfort of their loyal fans and beloved family after battling with the most talented and vicious athletes in the world for months, for the other teams it is finally time for the suffocating clouds of depression and lack of success to be lifted and their gaze to be shifted to the 2011 NBA Draft which is encompassed with the hope of clawing into next year's play-offs and competing for a chance to be presented their own trophy.
  I'll be addressing the top draft pick in this year's upcoming draft, even though this draft is being described as one of the weakest in years due to the looming possibility of an NBA lock out because the ending of the Collective Bargaining Agreement. As with all who entered this draft, I'll take a leap of faith and allow my talents and hard work to help me evaluate this top player.
Kyrie Irving (PG) #1:
  Kyrie is an amazing athlete and competitior who found himself as the number one recruit in the nation and relied on Coach K's past expierience and successes to mold him into the number one pick in this year's draft. Irving had an unbelievable season as a Blue Devil. He led Duke in scoring with 17.5 points, shooting 53 percent, and averaging 4.3 assists per game, but this star point-guard only played eleven games due to a nagging toe injury. Irving is a lot bigger than you would think. He’s a good-sized point guard. He’s 6-3 and a legit 6-3, not 6-feet or 6-1. Also, he does have a great feel for the game and a polished jumpshot suggesting that he'll become an immdeiate contributor on the floor.
  Irving still has weaknesses in his style of play which questions his position of being the No. 1 overall pick. Irving is a good athlete but not a great one; he doesn’t have the quickness or speed, as well as the strength to become an elite point guard in the league. Kyrie Irving isn't a bad prospect, but in a normal draft, he wouldn't be selcted in the first couple of picks, but he does have the basic tools to become a solid point guard.
  Irving’s performance as a point guard, which has been a major void for the Cavaliers, will hopefully bring a little bit of excitement, but it will not erase the horrendous record of last year's team of 19-63 or the trail of broken hearts left by Lebron James.
