Booker just up 34/7/5/2/1 on nearly 60/50/90 shooting in the play-offs, and people still have a hard time to accept that he´s alot closer to Luka than Irving. There is a reason the Suns have lost to the eventual champions in the two of the last three play-offs and it´s not CP3 or Durant, while Kyrie´s teams never got to two wins in the 2nd round.
Players better than Kyrie
...and a few other depending how much emphasis you want to put on defense (Adebayo/Brown).
One thing is unquestionable. If they want any chance to make it into and out of the 1st round, Kyrie better play like a top 20 player next season.
Looking at the list, it kind off support my opinion that Kyrie is more of a top 30 player, somewhere around 23-27 maybe.
But better and ranking is very subjective, not just for different opinions and criteria, but also due to different role.
There is probably 25+ players that I would take to build around a team,but that list shrink significantly once I am looking for a 2nd option. His only concern in that regard is defense, an area I am not the best one to judge btw, and that is a bit of an issue for Luka as he isn't best defender either, unless he is really motivated
