If your weakness is missing a bunch of shots, thats a huge weakness.

Lilliard is a stud. If not too 3-5 pG, then damn close. The dude has ice water in veins too. Im not sure what the knock on him is.

Sure it is but thats mitigated by the fact he makes the second most free throws a game.

Lillard is not better than any of hte following:

Westbrook
Paul
Curry
Wall
Irving
Conley
Bledsoe

Just my opinion. I think Lillard is a liability on defense because of his size.
 
Lillard isn't terribly consistent shooting, and the consensus seems to be that he plays zero defense.

He's still a stud, though. Just throwing out the popular "knocks" on him.
 
Its not that he doesn't play defense its just that when you're a small guy you are very limited as to the type of impact you can have on that side of the ball.

I would take him over Bledsoe, but that seems like a fair list.
 
I really like Bledose. Not a ball dominant guy like Westbrook but still gets his points and is an absolute terror on defense. Huge fan of his.
 
And the season from hell continues. Feel terrible for Russ as he was on his way to a potential MVP season or at least a historically great one. I get that on a cumulative level that he hasn't been the most valueable up until this point but nobody was playing better basketball than he was for the last month.

Russell Westbrook won't miss much time with surgery. "If he had a playoff game (Sunday), he could play," league source tells Yahoo Sports.
 
To be fair, it doesnt seem like he'll miss alot of time but still, never seen a team have this many injuries.

KD, Russ, Adams, Kanter out, and probably 15-20 close losses that would be wins with both Russ/KD. If they win 2 of the next 3, i'd bring him back, if they lose all 3, tank for a pick.

I'm torn, i think they should just tank, keep Kanter, get a lotto talent on the team and go at it next year.

It seems he'll have to wear a mask though whenever he returns.

I would take Lilliard over Conley, irving, and Bledsoe without a doubt. He will exceed paul soon. Hes pretty close to Wall, maybe better.
 
I don't see those levels but he could always get there. Guy has a flair for the dramatic thats for sure.
 
Exceed Chris Paul? Do you mean Chris Paul in his prime a few years ago? He's going to end up as one of the best point guards ever. No way Lizard is even sniffing Paul at this point. He doesn't run a team or help his teammates out enough.

It depends on what you want in your point guard. His assist to turnover ratio isn't very good and neither are his assists per game. But he does score the ball. I think he's in my top ten overall though.

Curry, Paul, Wall, Russ, Kryie, Teague, Lowry, Lawson, and Lillard are my top point guards out there.

I love Lowry. I would probably take Lowry over Lillard as well.
