Kyrie’s Defense is Offensive. Part I » DPPssmall_021

Irving has very poor instincts (or maybe coaching) on when to go over or under screens. Given the distance from the three point line, and the fact that the screen is staggered, it would be a better idea to go under here.

The pick is coming, and Kyrie's posture isn't awful, though his butt isn't down enough, and he's leaning too far forward.
In addition, Irving is very bad at "getting skinny" to get around picks. That has to do with being too hunched over and not being on the balls of his feet. He's trailing the play badly now.
