2015's Best Point Guard: Not Kyrie Irving

There are many reasons to read NBA articles on ESPN.com. The site has a couple of excellent evaluators/writers—David Thorpe and Kevin Arnovitz being the crème de la crème. But among the reasons not to read ESPN is it's shameless self promotion.

This month's ESPN the Magazine features Cavs starting point guard Kyrie Irving on the cover. So, of course, the day after Christmas, ESPN posted a piece by Amin Elhassan detailing why he'll be the best point guard in three years.

Another reason not to read ESPN--Henry Abbott and his Truehoop network. Case in point, Elhassan's story was followed up with an article by five members of the Truehoop network regarding who they believe the best point guard will be in 2015.

Overwhelmingly, Irving was the choice (with a Derrick Rose and a Chris Paul thrown in for good measure).

I bring this up because Russell Westbrook got no mention.
