Last guard we acquired during the draft in which they were drafted.... drafted #6..... B-ROY!

wel lets put that under the microscope..(and I love Roys heart)

Roy is already finished, whether he wants to admit that or not. All the rest of te crop of players of any worth are still productive players.

Again, using my white players in the NBA suck method.

Andre Miller 17.8 career per


All the others are either white or Cuban, so they don't count

Keith Van Horn had a career PER of 16.8 and was only a low 20s USG guy. Van Horn was solid.

Bogut had a 20.7 PER in 2009-10 before injuries really started taking a toll on him.

Van Horn and Bogut we overdrafted, but they certainly were worthy of being lottery picks, as was Miller.

Dion proved himself on a much larger stage than Lillard.

The BigSky and JuCo are on the same tier. You can't compare the two and what they did in college.

What that has to do with Lillard's NBA potential? ZILCH.

Who does this sound like from InsideHoops.......

A shot-blocking defender who adds size but not much offensive refinement. Limited basketball experience. Not a real impact player (yet?) but the only true center worthy of going higher than mid first round.

And who does this sound like from InsideHoops......

A short but talented, very quick point guard and one of the most athletic players in the draft.

The first was Thabbeet but could be Drummond.

The second Johny Flynn but could be Lillard.

lock down starters with allstar potential. Nothing but upside....oh, hit the green for me will you?

Lillard has better size than Flynn and is a much, much better shooter. This doesn't seem like a valid comparison at all.

Lillard has a lot more size than Flynn. Has a jumpshot and more athleticism than Flynn could dream of. Flynn might be faster with the ball though.

Flynn played at Syracuse, though, which means he'll be a much better pro than small school scrubs like Steve Nash and John Stockton.

Nash played at Santa Clara and Stockton played at Gonzaga. Both are far better basketball programs in a far better conference than Weber State.

This post is an oxy moron because you were attempting sarcasm, but used a Syracuse player asan example

And we know that players who put up great stats at Gonzaga have amazing NBA careers.

Gonzaga didn't make their first tournament appearance until 1995

Gonzaga when Stockton joined was a year removed from the Big Sky. I don't see a huge difference in the quality of the conferences back then. And seems like minus Gonzaga, they'd be viewed fairly similar otherwise.
 
Lillard was rarely shown on television, but NBA scouts certainly know him. An Eastern Conference scout projects him to be selected between Nos. 10-20. A Western Conference scout likened him to a young Mo Williams.

"He’s a confident and aggressive scorer with no conscience," one East scout said. "He’s more of a volume streaky scorer. At times he can play selfish in terms of making sure his teammates are involved."

His ceiling, maybe.

Stockton played a long time ago when you were more likely to find gems at small schools.
 
According to Synergy Sports, Lillard posted a PPP of 1.039 when looking to score himself, placing him in the 91st percentile. If you account for his passes out of pick-and-rolls, Lillard's PPP remains high at 1.083 (87th percentile). The fact that there is so little drop off between to the two stats confirms his strong decision-making skills.

Lillard likes to play off of ballscreens that allow him to create space for his jump shot, which he does 61.3 percent of the time when he actually uses a screen. He ranked in the top 10 of jump shots off the dribble in terms of PPP. If the defense goes under the screen or switches, Lillard will pull up behind it. This forces the defense to go over his ballscreens, but this still puts them at a disadvantage given Lillard's shooting skills. If he cannot get his shot, he is a willing passer with a natural feel for it.
