Kyrie Irving Shows Cleveland Cavaliers Why He Is Worthy of The No. 1 Pick in 2011 NBA Draft
Kyrie Irving has been awfully quiet during the whole draft process.
He hasn't competed in virtually all of the pre-draft camps and has worked out privately with a grand total of one team.
The Cleveland Cavaliers hold the No. 1 pick in the draft and just so happen to have a need at point guard?Irving's position.
Most experts have already assumed he will be taking his talents to Cleveland in an attempt to revive a tortured franchise. He sounded pretty confident when talking with Fox Sports Ohio about his workout:
"When I went to Cleveland, they had me do some of the testing that I didn't do in Chicago, which I was completely fine with," Irving said. "So it was a great chance to show them what I could do."
Irving insisted his toe is now "100 percent healthy." That's a lot different than the NCAA tournament in March, when he estimated it was only about 70 percent.

Cleveland has stayed tight lipped on the whole ordeal but I really have a hard time believing he's a complete lock at this point.
The guy has played in a grand total of 11 college games because of his toe injury. Derrick Williams could provide a much bigger instant impact for the Cavs and is just as big of a need. He is also a more proven player that beat Irving's Duke team in the NCAA Tournament.
Irving is more coveted because of one word... "potential".
The Cavs have a franchise altering decision to make and don't assume they will take a risky guy like Irving before a sure thing in Williams.
