The Regime Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 John Wall is by no means a bust just yet, but he hasn't lived up to the expectations of a first overall pick imo. He's shooting numbers have just been abysmal. On the other hand Irving had a stellar rookie season and already has gained the reputation as one of the best jumpshooting pg's in the league. From a facilitating and defensive standpoint I would probably say it's a wash for now. With that said, which first overall pick will have a better career?

EastCoastNiner Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 The results for this poll are probably going to vastly favor Irving...... As you said, you're comparing a player coming off of a stellar season to a player not living up to his hype............... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was just my two cents, I wasn't trying to sway any opinions at least not intentionally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AboveLegit Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 Considering we have just last year to base everything off of, I'd say Kyrie just because of how good he is now. But I'm getting pretty tired seeing people calling Wall a disappointment. It's incredibly stupid and ignorant, at least watch him play on a nightly basis rather than looking at one statistic. I have no problem saying his jump shot is substandard, but please look at the full body of work before making these snap judgments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 Have you seen what John Wall has been surrounded with since he got drafted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Popular Post Real Deal Posted September 15, 2012 Owner Popular Post Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 Wall is capable of much more than he has put out, of course...but Irving is special. Have you seen what John Wall has been surrounded with since he got drafted?Have you seen what Kyrie Irving "inherited" from LeBron James? I remember you blasting the Cavaliers more than almost anyone else, once LeBron left, because supposedly, they gave him absolutely nothing to work with. I mean...Alonzo Gee, Omri Casspi, and a 36-year old Anthony Parker started for Cleveland last season, as did Tristan Thompson. Manny Harris started a few games as well, and does ANYONE on this site know anything about Donald Sloan? He started 11 games. Outside of an injured Antawn Jamison, who should be a sixth man rather than a starter, Irving had nothing...much less than LeBron, actually. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snap's Distinct Phelps Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Wall has failed to developed a consistent jumper, but he has all the athletic talent in the world. Irving however, has developed a jumper, has better court vision, can takeover came and is very fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
