If Irving's there, Cavs like him at No. 1

Spammer first! How sad for T & R!

He's got al the potential in the world, but he's barely played
I actually feel bad for cav management as they really need to hit it right and he's talented, but the lack of seeing him vs legit competition makes him a risk and I don't know if they can afford to take a 'rsk'

Too early to even declare who you want to pick...

makes you wonder what teams thinks about nolan smith.

Is Irving the next MJ? If not, then pick someone else! Still too early though

I hope Kyrie stays another year. He could use the Coach K guidance, and Duke can use his talents. If he stays everybody wins.

can't wait to see what kind of impact he will have in the tournament.

I wish he could play in the tournament. Him on the court would almost guarantee a Duke Final Four spot.

He is practicing and coach K said he is likely to play

Kemba Walker.

Pair him with Austin Rivers and if the Plumlees both stay they have a great squad with the little curry kid and some of their random shooters

I'm pretty sure he's playing.

What you need to remember is CAVS of two Lottery Picks theirs & LA Clips ...... one pG, sF, .....

Kyrie or Walker at pG / Barnes or Williams at sF ...

LeFlake will put a Curse on CAVS, dropping CAVS down to #4 pick

How did I miss this??? OH GOD PLEASE LET KYRIE PLAY!!!

Coach K doesn't typically blow smoke -so I'd say he has a limited role in the first two games and if he's looking good after another week (if they are still alive) he'll get more clock

Coach K says there's a good chance he will play Friday. He won't start and won't be on the floor for extended minutes, but just having him back at all will be huge.

Nolan Smith has looked darn good at the 1 ...but taking him off the ball is where he plays his best. Duke would be very dangerous and my mind the favorite if Irving is 80-85% of what he was in those first 8 games
