Kyrie could dribble through 5 guys and do a 720 layup on someone, since he does it on a nightly basis already. Career 40% three point shooter so he’s just pulling up from wherever. Not a great pick. 

Another thing I didn’t mention for all the people that think they wouldn’t make it out the region, the typical NBA three is 4 feet farther than High school.

Not to mention that if you put Kyrie on a high school PG, except for a few elite HS players they'd be lucky to get the ball across half court. Steph would shoot like 70% from 3 at high school range with high school defenders.

This isn't even a question. You put any All Star on any high school team in Kentucky and they would win state. For some perspective, the average high school team scores roughly 0.9-1.0 points per possession. The NBA average for the last few years has been about 1.3-1.4 points per possession, against other NBA talent. There is no one at the high school level that could stop even the worst player in the NBA.
