If you're a Cavaliers fan, do you really want to use the top pick on Kyrie Irving?

I like the Cavaliers; I lived in Cleveland for a few years, so I was pulling for them to make out well in the draft lottery. They obviously did make out well, but I was actually hoping they'd get the #2 pick. The #1 pick is analyzed too much in the days up to the draft that by draft day, there's always a consensus guy that everyone believes will go #1, and they fully expect that guy to be taken first. This year, in a draft that's pretty lacking in elite talent, the expected top pick is Kyrie Irving, a player I'm not sold on at all.

I've seen him play in what little games he made it into, and I was definitely impressed, but I was much more impressed with Derrick Williams, Kemba Walker, and Brandon Knight. Enes Kanter also seems more enticing to me. Kyrie Irving just has that kind of laid back demeanor; he doesn't look like he's capable of intensity or that fire you need from your elite point guard and floor general. Even Derrick Rose, who is extremely shy to the public, will get intense and fired up in games. You need that.

Personally, I want them to go for size and take Derrick Williams first overall. If you can get him with #4, which is doubtful, by all means do it. But I'd rather see Kemba Walker go to Cleveland with that #4 pick if they do indeed go for a guard. You know the guy plays hard, you know the guy gives it 100% every single game, and you know he's a natural winner and leader. You know you're going to get, worst case scenario with Kemba, a gritty guard who will always give you everything he has.

I respect Kyrie Irving, and the fact that he must have shown enough promise and character to be recruited by Coach K at Duke, but he hasn't shown me enough. I'd like to see the Cavs take Derrick Williams first overall. Size is everything in the NBA. If they can grab Williams and Enes Kanter, that would be wonderful. It's not like they're going to be contending much next year, they can grab a point guard then.
