It's about 2:45 PM and I'm listening to 99.9 FM, while I'm driving into work. This is the Triangle's ESPN station and the host is talking about ACC basketball. He goes on about how last year, he pointed out the Blue Devils had numerous question marks, yet despite all of this he picked the team to go all the way to the National Championship Game.

He says that he's talked with a number of people in the know. People who don't make inflated claims, and these individuals have told him that they've watched a number of Duke practices and that on numerous ocassions Kyrie Irving has been the best player on the floor. Since I'm in Fayetteville, the reception keeps cutting in and out, but the host seemed to make quite a big deal out of this inside info.

As he pointed out, you've got two seniors who are absolute studs returning, but here you have this kid who's looking so great. This could be a really special year.
