gravity maybe? Kyrie is more of a mid-range guy and doesn't exert so much perimeter gravity
Kyrie makes 174 or 177 3s @40% (depending on whether you want the 2% higher efg & 63 D or 5 more ast% & 68 D ) in 26 or 27 min/g.... Certainly not Lillard numbers, but its still plenty of 3s at a high percentage. You can still have plenty total 3s on your team easily with Kyrie. Lillard isn't a bad pick, but I don't think he's a clear 'upgrade' over Kyrie. I'd rather have the 68 or 63 D over the 48 D with similar offensive production. The extra mins for Lillard are valuable & the extra 3s make team building more flexible, so it's really a coin toss.
