So how did Kyrie Irving look to the fans at Quicken Loans Arena? How about like a 19-year-old point guard in his first NBA game. A sentence like that means is was a long night for the No. 1 pick in the Cavaliers' 104-96 loss to Toronto. While some fans will focus on Irving's miserable 2-of-12 shooting night, the other eye-opener and heart-stopper for the kid from Duke was Jose Calderon. Young Mr. Irving probably knew very little about Calderon until this night. The former star in the Spanish pro league who has spent the last six seasons in the NBA torched Irving not only for 14 points, but 11 assists. Irving was destroyed on the pick-and-roll, and the Cavs' lack of team speed -- especially when Antawn Jamison and Omri Casspi were together at forward -- meant many of Calderon's passes led to dunks and layups.

Spain began their defence of the Eurobasket crown with a unconvincing 83-79 victory over Poland in Panevezys. Pau Gasol led the Spanish with 29 points with Juan Carlos Navarro backing him up with 23 in a game where Spain didn’t get out of first gear and still came away with the victory. The big story for the holders is how little their point guards influenced the tie. With Ricky Rubio, Jose Calderon and Sergio Llull all failing to register a single point. Despite Spain leading 61-52 after three, and looking comfortable. Poland, with nothing to lose, went all out and attacked the glum Eurobasket holders. They dragged it to just two points, thanks to foul shots from Thomas Kelati with a minute to play (80-78), but a pair of free-throws from Navarro and one from Pau settled the tie and condemned Poland to defeat.

Dwane Casey on the core players in Toronto: “Andrea (Bargnani) is definitely a piece of the core that we have to utilize. He’s our star. DeMar Derozan is definitely an athletic part of our core, Jose Calderon, Jerryd Bayless, James Johnson is in that group, and Amir Johnson. You’ve got the core now. The part you may have to add is a veteran piece, a veteran defender or whatever along with our draft pick is something that I’m sure Bryan and the staff are going to look at, but the core pieces are there to build on to use as building blocks. Those guys are the guys were gonna push, cajole, put an arm around, or whatever it takes to get to that next level.” Sports Radio Interviews

Josep Franch has a little bit of Jose Calderon to him. He doesn't blow you away with any aspect of his game and may ultimately go undrafted. But he appears to be a guy that could steadily improve his game over time to the point where he could get NBA looks at 24-25 years of age. He pushes the ball up the floor well. He has great form on his shot. And he has good size for the PG position. NBADraft.net

Is there any team you would like to play for? Jose Calderon: Obviously everybody would like to play for Boston or the Lakers, because apart from being two of the best teams, everything around them is amazing. When you watch that, you're like, "How cool!" But you've got to realize that it's difficult to get a spot there. La Gaceta
