To be fair, Dame is right on that bubble of being a good PG or a great PG. If he wants to move up into the Paul/Westbrook/Curry ranks then this year could be the start of that.
Interesting list..... Klay, Draymond, Love, and Dame? I get that Rose is overrated because the guy can't stay healthy and he hasn't been the same guy since his injury.
Very true, but shit man..... I still feel like he gets way overlooked. If he wasn't a social media badass, I feel like nobody would know who he is.
I honestly believe that it will change this year. I think he deferred more than we know. This is his year and I can't see him dropping the ball.
Hopefully, he gets some calls (see HCP's post regarding NBA scouts and what they had to say about the Blazers).
Dame will see this. Remember when everybody was putting together their top 5 PG lists and kept getting left off. He didn't like that.
Dame's 3rd year performance is on par with what Curry did in his 3rd year. Curry had a short (injury) season his 4th year, made a small jump his 5th year and a bigger one last year. I think that Dame is likely to show the same kind of improvement this year or next - he is just too good a player - and people are unfairly assuming that if he is not as good as Curry now he is overrated - he is really following the same improvement curve that Curry had - and he might have done it deferring more than Curry had to in his early years.
[QUOTE For all the great things that Damian Lillard has accomplished thus far in his short career, he was helped by LaMarcus Aldridge, Nicolas Batum, Wes Matthews andRobin Lopez. With those players all gone, it’s going to be really interesting to see if Lillard can be as successful. [/QUOTE] They have been using that argument forever. How successful will Kobe be w/o Shaq, Can Shaq win w/o Kobe. It will also be interesting to see how successful Nic, Wes, LA and Robin will be w/0 Dame......although LA went to a pretty good situation regardless how preseason has gone.
An honest summary of every article ranking individual players: "It's tough measuring the worth of individuals in a team sport."
Jesus. Dame has carried the team, not the other way around. Wes, Batum, and Aldridge couldn't do shit until Dame came around and got them to the second round for the first time in 14 years. Also, Draymond Green is not overrated. The guy moved to center in the NBA Finals and they won three straight with him getting a triple double in the clinching game. This list is a joke.
It is bro! I just copied a picture of the article instead of the link....... I HATE clicking on a link and having to look at 30 teams info to get to my teams.
