Good Lillard read

From the SF Chronicle. He sent his NBA second season goals to his High School coach. He's also been donating supplies to his old HS team.

Damian Lillard sent his Oakland High coach Orlando Watkins his goals in his sophomore NBA season with the Trail Blazers. Shoot a higher percentage, rebound better, score a little more, be a better leader.

Awesome.

Lillard received only mid-major college offers, which Watkins said rarely bothered Lillard. "He did tell me once when he was a senior he thought Cal should have recruited him," Watkins said. "I told him he wouldn't want to play for Ben Braun anyway, that he should go to a place where he felt wanted and could make him a better guard."

And funny.
