Here i'll dig em out for you-
"The most efficient guard in pick and roll (1.039 PP), spot-up (1.388), and isolation off screen situations (1.324), Lillard dominates most categories in this study. Perhaps the most impressive aspect of Lillard's showing on paper is the paltry 9.8% turnover rate he posted despite teams game planning to stop him on a nightly basis. Just an average finisher (1.127 PPP), making plays at the rim in traffic may be Lillard's biggest challenge at the next level, but his ability to score in a variety of ways from the perimeter should be him a valuable asset to whichever team drafts him. - Source: http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Damian-Lillard-6152/ ©DraftExpress"
"The large emphasis of the pick-and-roll game in today's NBA bodes well for Lillard, as he's shown to be very effective as the ball-handler in pick-and-roll situations. His ability to smoothly pull up off the dribble from deep range makes it difficult for his defenders to go underneath the screen, while his burst off the dribble allows him to turn the corner quickly and get into the paint. - Source: http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Damian-Lillard-6152/ ©DraftExpress"
"Lillard still hasn't shown a great deal in terms of pure playmaking ability, but he looks to have nice passing instincts on dribble penetration, and his role at Weber State calls for him to be their primary scorer, so it's tough to get a gauge of just how much of a distributor he might be in a different situation. This might be the biggest question he faces as enters the draft process, as he's clearly not big enough to play any other position besides point guard. As a defender, Lillard is showing much of what we've already seen from him in the past, moving well laterally and utilizing his length to play intense on-the-ball defense. He'd have a huge adjustment to make to defending NBA point guards full-time, though, as it's apparent he can lose his focus from time to time, after expending so much energy on the offensive end. - Source: http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Damian-Lillard-6152/ ©DraftExpress"
"Looking at Lillard's dribble drive game as a whole, there is much to be impressed with, ranging from his well-developed handle with both hands, his ability to change directions with ease in the lane, and his general awareness and tendency to always keep his head up with the ball. On the down side, however, despite a solid first step, Lillard doesn't stand out very much with his second or third gear, not often showing the ability to take it to the next level the way elite guards do. To his credit, his solid height and excellent length allow him to make up for this somewhat in the finishing department, where he does a good job scoring over (or going through) the competition, while also showing flashes of a developing floater that would further take advantage of his size. - Source: http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Damian-Lillard-6152/ ©DraftExpress"
These are facts. Don't try to tell people to get their research done unless you are willing to get your own done as well.
"For comparison's sake, here's the video we produced on Lillard two years ago in the leadup to the 2012 NBA Draft: - Source: http://www.draftexpress.com/article/Revisiting-Damian-Lillard-Scouting-Video--4391/ ©DraftExpress"
This video breakdown and the stats are no longer available. It explains the amount of PPP he gets in transition.
