The Kyrie Thread

[tap2390]

Some of Draymond's points:

-Kyrie is a fantastic spot up shooter... implies concern about sharing the ball with Luka is overblown

-says Luka & Kyrie combo is going to be "tough tough tough to guard"

-says Kyrie has matured as a defender and has risen to the challenge of defending good guards... says Kyrie is better than Dinwiddie on this end of the court

-says trade must have come together extremely quickly because SD and DFS played on Saturday and were traded by Sunday at noon... gives credit to Nico Harrison, says Nico didn't have much time to think and pulled the trigger

I'm not worried about fit at all really. As far as the obvious risks off the court- Kyrie marches to the beat of his own drum. If he leaves to me it's not in 6 months its further down the line. I'd be more worried about year 3 then 6 months from now but who knows.

A lot of this negative talk with his fit and fit with luka to me is media driven.

1) Kyrie is almost 40% on catch-and-shoot threes. He's going to get a lot of those in the minutes he plays with Luka
2) Luka shoots 40.0% on his own catch-and-shoot threes. He can finish plays that Kyrie creates.
3) Kyrie and Markieff both have legit defensive numbers

I am excited
