    Lillard is 13th in the NBA in scoring at 19.1 ppg. He's gonna blow up next year. All Star for sure.

    Who does he replace?

    He'll be duking it out with Curry.

    Even if this is his ceiling, I'm in total mancrush mode with this kid, and will love his entire career.

    13th in scoring, 10th in 20+ point games, and arguably pass-first. That's why I said in the other thread I think he's already better than Roy at his peak. Those numbers indicate a top-10 player in the league. (I'm ignoring defense, since Roy was nearly as bad in that respect, just he had the luxury of being hidden off the ball.)

    Here's the list (this year) of players with at least 1 24+ point, 7+ assist game. This is where Lillard stands, imho: http://bkref.com/tiny/SOHrS

    Yeah it's gonna be tough to make the all star game next season. Maybe Parker gets the boot? I think the snub on curry will be a shoe in for him next season, unless he just stinks it up.

    But if lillard keeps this shit up, how could you not?

    The placement doesn't seem far off, but arbitrary cutoffs like that always cloud matters. I certainly wouldn't say Lillard has surpassed Durant and Wade! But I would take him over Holliday and Jennings.

    A lot of it is going to come down to record, if we start out the year great and lillard continues his rookie season numbers (lets say 25-15), I see the coaches overwhelmingly put him in the game. Since its changed to a G/G/F/F/F setup the real locks ahead of him are Harden/Westbrook/CP3/Kobe, after that its going to be a fistfight with Lillard having a chance to get a lot of that media attention that seems to drive the vote.

    It's arbitrary, yeah. I mean, Wade and Durant aren't scoring facilitators (this year) necessarily. So this is just one aspect of being a great player. But for Lillard's player type, he's definitely in that range of 8-16.

    This list: http://bkref.com/tiny/UiExb which counts only wins in the total count, moves Wade up to where he should be.

    Unless either of those guys and/or Steph has an injury, Dame isn't likely to make it next year. Then again, if he shows monumental improvement, and we're on pace for 60wins, he's a guaranteed in.

    ESPN just showed Kobe shooting in Atlanta. He is listed as a "Game Time Decision"........ Amazing

    That is quiet amazing. Would have a lot more respect for Kobe somehow playing through insane injuries if he wasn't such a drama queen about them.
