Panini Signs Kyrie Irving to Exclusive Deal
Irving spent one injury-plagued season at Duke but showed enough flashes of brilliance to warrant the first-overall pick. He will be a central figure in the process of rebuilding the Cavaliers after LeBron James left the team last season to pursue a championship with the Miami Heat.
Irving joins the second pick of the draft, Derrick Williams, as the faces of the 2011 NBA Draft class for Panini. As part of their exclusive contracts, only Panini products will contain autographs and memorabilia from the two rookies. Like Williams, Irving's first official card will appear in 2011-12 Panini Prestige. Other Panini-exclusive players include Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, Blake Griffin and John Wall.
