I believe The HCP posted he was ribbing Swirsky and Swirsky said don't worry, Lillard has his vote, or something to that effect.Someone talked to him a couple weeks ago (I can't remember who, was it HCP or did HCP just say someone from POR?) and he said something along the lines of "don't worry POR, Lillard has my vote".
Someone else will probably be the Swirsky this year though.
John Gerrity is quoted on espn.com as picking Anthony Davis for ROY.
Who is he and does he have an official vote?
Joe Gerrity, Hornets 247: Anthony Davis. As Ethan Sherwood Strauss pointed out, Davis has contributed more despite playing substantially fewer minutes. He leads Damian Lillard in value added, wins added and win shares, as well as destroying him in PER. I'd feel differently if the Blazers had made the playoffs.

In Lillard’s case, the effect of his stepping off the court is comical. Portland’s offensive efficiency plummets from 105.6 to 92.9, a drop of 12.7 points per 100 possessions. That fall takes Portland from above-average to way, way, way below the worst in the NBA. No wonder Stotts runs this guy into the ground. Meanwhile, Davis, Beal and Barnes have a minimal impact on their team’s offensive output. Both Kidd-Gilchrist (+2.7) and Waiters (+4.9) kick their team’s attack up a notch, but again both do so in smaller roles.
They should write a story just like this about Chuck Swirsky on the R.O.Y. vote:

Was Hickman justified for voting for Allen Iverson over Shaq? Should LeBron be an unanimous MVP?
