17. Kyrie Irving

21.5 PPG, 4.9 APG, 3.4 RPG, 1.6 SPG, 22.6 PER

There’s so many things I dislike about Kyrie Irving’s game, but he seems to have corrected those issues lately.

Irving isn’t hogging the ball; he’s contributing to the ball movement, and he’s trying on defense.

Yay! LeBron James finally got through to him, and that’s one of the main reasons the Cleveland Cavaliers are on a four-game winning streak.

Irving is also contributing in all areas of the game for the first time in his career.

Against the Indiana Pacers on Nov. 29, Irving blocked 3 shots and grabbed 10 rebounds. That’s activity! The Cavs can win when Irving shows that type of commitment.

Next: 16. CP3
