Lillard's Top-10 Plays

[Shooter]

Some of these wouldn't be in my Top 10, but it's a pretty good showcase of Lillard's ability to get to the rim.

These are nice to relive. One thing I have noticed is that even when Lillard goes left he doesn't use his left hand to finish. That is something he could work on and would make him even that more scary to play against in future years.

No stepback 3s?

Right. I would put some big outside shots in my Top 10, and maybe one of his dunks.

Yeah maybe that game winner step back three

Yeah maybe that game winner step back three

The video is from the beginning of December, he hadn't hit the game winner or that big stepback 3 over Patty Mills vs the Spurs yet.

I have wondered about that as well. But I know he can do it because I remember an incredible highlight about a month ago where he did use his left hand. It was an amazing shot. Plus he does it in highlight #3 in these top 10.

Of course before the draft someone mentioned that his low release on his jumpers would hinder him as well.........
It hasn't. So who knows.

#5 reminds me a lot of Chris Paul, the way he splits the defenders and gets to the rim.

He gets them off so quickly that it doesn't matter that it's low, though.

Definitely not his "top 10" plays. Strange they'd show a "best" list that only includes 1/3 of the season? Number 2 was his very first game in Portland, I believe.

It's an old video.

He only uses his left hand to finish occasionally but it looks great when he does it. I'd imagine he didn't have to go left much at Weber State..
