LAS VEGAS -- After all the wicked dribbles, twisting layups and everything else he stuffed into his latest highlight reel, Kyrie Irving stopped to do a little math.

The number, Irving confessed on his way out of the interview room, is actually burned into his brain. Eleven whopping games.

That's the extent of his time together at Duke with Mike Krzyzewski.

"Me and him talk about it all the time," Irving told ESPN.com late Thursday night, "how this is another chance for him to coach me."

It's a second chance that, health permitting, will stretch well beyond the 11-game mark by the time Irving's international career is complete. That inevitability was hammered home Thursday night when USA Basketball's four-day minicamp in Las Vegas was capped by Irving emerging as the undisputed best player on the floor in a game-conditions scrimmage that attracted an audience of nearly 10,000 to the Thomas & Mack Center.

Maybe it wasn't the most intense setting, but Irving still found a way to wow you, amassing 23 points and seven assists in 27 busy minutes to lead his USA White squad to a 128-106 rout of the USA Blues. He then found himself at the postgame podium alongside Krzyzewski, USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo and Blue top scorer Anthony Davis (22 points), which was fitting since Irving and Davis are generally regarded as the most likely locks among this week's 28 invitees to make Coach K's roster for the 2014 FIBA World Cup in Spain next September.
