He also took his team to the Elite 8 in his sophmore year. When did Lillard do something like that? I'll wait for a bit while you to dig up that information.
Once again I'd rather keep Jerryd Bayless but, what if he want too much money? Damian Lillard would come in and fill in that scoring punch off the bench at a cheaper cost than Bayless and Dragic.Last edited by Chr1s1anL; Sun Apr 22, 2012, 02:58 PM.@Chr1st1anL

Westbrook and Jrue Holiday both had sub-par careers in a big conference but still got drafted fairly high and contribute at the next level. Enes Kanter didn't even play a game but, scout knew his game would translate. Damian Lillard has three things that translate to automatically to the NBA quickness, shooting, and work ethic.

My opinion on Lillard could change when workouts transpire (but I doubt it). You're right that he's got good work ethic and that he can shoot - both things going for him, but we're not looking for a shoot-first PG.
You know how stongly opposed I am to having this team choosing Lillard? I would seriously consider following some other team if it happens. That goes for Perry Jones too.

You want to have a guy who has played against solid competition - or else his skills and numbers seem somewhat skewed. In regards to Westbrook, he put up some decent numbers as a sophmore and garnered PAC-10 DPOY. As for Holiday, he only played 1 season at UCLA, and his point guard skills weren't put up on display because UCLA used Darren Collison at the 1.

I don't think brass would not pick up the QO on Bayless, just to select Lillard. It makes absoluely no sense. If brass parts ways with Bayless - which is a distinct possibility, they won't acquire someone who virtually has the same game.
Of course, that's just my take on it.

Lillard is not a bad consolation prize - looks like he could be an NBA starter at the PG, who can work an offense.
Missing out on that upper echelon of talent in this draft would hurt, but adding a young rotation piece is not a horrible outcome.The only way to bag a classy lady is to give her two tickets to the gun show... and see if she likes the goods.
