Scouting Report: Strengths

• He’s at his best working in space, showing the quickness and vision of a return specialist. His stop-start ability allows him to create initial separation.
• He is a natural playmaker, at his best with the ball in his hands.
• Irving has very good vision and a knack for picking out cut-back lanes and then breaking offchunks of yardage.
• He’s outstanding as a receiver, with good hands and the coordination to snatch away from his body and fluidly transition to a runner.
