Kyrie Irving will average 30 ppg next year

Kyrie well probably sit out half the year like he always does

In the last three years, Kyrie has played in 233 of a possible 287 games including the playoffs. That comes out to a games-played rate of a little over 81-percent and that includes time missed for a broken kneecap, far and away the most serious injury of his basketball playing life.

But, even using this as a barometer, he'd be playing in about 70 games in the regular season and then the entire playoffs.

Saying Kyrie wont score 30 a game isnt hating lol. Yall crazy.

No reason he should be taken that many shots, unless he makes a Steph Curry like jump from the 3 point range where he can score 30 on few shots. He has it in him to become a really great efficient scorer, but 30 a game is too high for this Cavs team. Cavs would be better off with him at about 25 ish, Lebron at 23-24, Love at like 17.

As for the topic, I don't anticipate that kind of leap on a team that doesn't need a single player to average 30 points a night in the regular season. Plus, he's still just 24. In his physical prime 4-5 years from now he may get up in that range.

Seems highly unlikely at this stage. I'd be happy with a return to his 2015 regular season numbers (he was All NBA) with maybe slightly more efficiency. He can save averaging 31 points a game on 51% shooting for when the games REALLY matter, like he did in the last 5 games of The 2016 Finals.
