I think most people would take Irving; he's a better offensive player and it's not even that close. Deng is a better defender, but I don't think he's good enough to make up the difference and will never be regarded as a superstar the way Kyrie will.
which is why I said right now. There's only so much we can gather on Kyrie's two injury shortened seasons so far.
And as an aside, I don't like considering either of them as serious contenders because they were both one and dones. Especially Irving, since he missed the overwhelming majority of his one season at Duke. Never even played an ACC game if I'm not mistaken.
