So are Lillard and Leonard starters at the top of the season?

I see chauncey resigning with the clips

How about Sergio? His been dominating, right? Now that Nate hasn't been holding him back?

 

[jlprk]

Yes, he's back on the Spanish Olympic team, with the Gasols, Rudy, etc. You'll see him this summer. He's almost recovered from Millanitis. He's a great playmaker, just not as tough as players raised inside the American culture.

I haven't look at his advanced stats but otherwise his numbers are pretty pedestrian.

Greg Anthony makes his picks for Rookies that he predicts will have a big impact on their teams starting right now:

Anthony Davis - says this is obvious, everyone agrees, and he moves on.

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist - says everyone knows is a good defender, but says he is a much better offensive player than people realize and will show it in NBA right away.

Damian Lillard - says is NBA ready talent that plays with great balance between attacking and defering. Is an unselfish player - despite the 25ppg - and that Portland has their Point Guard for years to come.

I sure hope Greg Anthony is right. He was my favorite backup point guard for the Blazers.

I think Billups could make a lot of sense. he was much more of a scoring point guard throughout his career than a true passer. If there's anybody currently in the league that Lillard can probably reasonably pattern his game after it's Billups' ... biggest question I have is about how he deals with the jump in competition and if he can defend at this level.

Good find. Randomly, I'll point out that MKG said a month ago that the toughest transition to the NBA for him would be losing so much - he's going to the losingest team in NBA history. Hope losing doesn't crush his spirit.

Nice that Greg is out front on Lillard. I think he'll be handed the keys, and the most everyone will join the bandwagon.
