Career high PER and WS/48 so far. WS/48 currently exceeding what IT had last year.
Also career high in 2-point field goals at 53.6%. He finishes as well as any guard in the league in my opinion, his mid-range J is lethal too.
I'll take that a step further and say that Kyrie Irving is the best finisher at the rim in the league.
He might be. One other plus is that Kyrie doesn't seem to absorb as much contact as a lot of other guards and wings when he finishes at the rim. He's so skilled with the dribble and timing, so creative with his finishes - he'll flip the ball up from an angle that looks impossible or from too far away, but it still goes in. I think part of his success might be that his defenders can't really predict when the ball's going up or from where. Also, I don't have the sense KI drives just to draw a foul very often (i.e., without a real prayer of finishing) sort of giving up his body to get to the line. A lot of the fouls he draws are just slaps on the arm, which is a good sign for the future.
We're lucky to be able to watch him. Once he and the team really understand how to play together, look out, league. Oh yeah. And next year we add Gordon.
