The little bit we saw of Kyrie showed Duke was best with him and Nolan on the floor at the same time. Wall and Irving are both 6 foot 4 and would have no problem matching up with any one or two in the league, size wise. This isn't a Felton/Lawson scenario where the lollipop kids could post them up. If they are committed to playing defense is another story. So you have the potential to land the two best point guards in two straight drafts, in a league dominated by point guards. One of the point guards is offense first and the other is more of a facilitator. Your backcourt can consist or John Wall and Kyrie Irving. And you aren't doing that because you want to hold on to Javelle McGee?

I wanted to stop reading after you alluded to Kyrie and Nolan in the backcourt together, as if that was comparable to Wall and Kyrie playing together. Then I stopped reading completely when you mentioned Kyrie was 6'4" and had the size to guard both guard positions. He's 6'2, kid. He's guarding a 1 and that's it.

Two, Nolan was a combo guard and an excellent catch and shoot and off the dribble, hence why he was able to play as an undersized 2 next to Kyrie. Neither Kyrie or Wall are 2 guards, not even in spot duty. Kyrie excelled behind the 3 point line because of the ball movement and system K ran that allowed him open looks. He's not going to give you buckets from the outside playing off the ball and we damn sure know what John's shot is like. I honestly can't believe you brought that idea to the table, fam
