It seems like the kid just keeps getting better and better. I remember during his rookie year there were people who said Kyrie Irving was a better player and a better prospect. I don't think very few people would say that now. How many point guards would you take over Lillard? Are there any? I don't like Westbrook. Physically I think he's probably the most gifted player at that position, but he's a class "A" ballhog and a real ego maniac. I also foresee him taking a real dive when his athleticism wanes. Chris Paul has slowed down significantly. I don't think he's nearly the player that he was in New Orleans. Steph Curry is an exceptional player. He might be the only guy that I would put above Lillard right now, but I tend to Like Dame better.... I'm biased though. Is there someone you would take over Lillard? Do you think he'll be the best point guard in the league at some point? What is his ceiling?
I think Steph and Lillard will be the best PGs in the NBA for years. And I Like Lillard better. Why?! I think Lillard is more clutch and has that MJ and Kobe swag. They love the big stage and being "The Guy". I don't ever think we are out of a game when he's on the floor. He's got "it". I can't say the same for Steph, even though he's probably a better shooter. 3-4 years from now Steph will be the Drexler to Lillard's Jordan
I wouldn't trade Lillard for any other point guard. There is barely any gap between him and others. As far as his ceiling goes, he is prime Marbury with prime Billups mixed together without being a headache.
Honestly, I would saw Kevin Johnson with deadly shooting and swag. The way Lillard attacks the basket reminds me so much of KJ.
That's the thing. With the MJ and Kobe swag there really isn't a ceiling. They are always driving themselves to get better. The true ceiling is when their body starts breaking down. Until then, he will get better each and every year imo
As was already said, with Lillard on our side, I always believe we can win any game. I think he wants to win more than I want them to win which is saying a lot. I wouldn't trade Lillard for any PLAYER in the NBA.
