All these on per-game basis: Points: #5 - Lillard #16 - CJ Rebounds: #23 - Ed Davis #28 - Aminu Assists: #3 - Lillard (tied with Chris Paul) Blocks: #33 - Aminu (tied with many others) Steals: #33 - Lillard (tied with several others) I think Lillard is doing a great job of leading the team and making it more than a Kobe-esque - "the team is all about me" scenario and making it a true team. Been very pleased also with several of the new players and excited to see how the season progresses. Gramps...
Lillard - Great job of scoring and getting teammates involved last night. Loved seeing him attack the rim and then dish it for a dunk. Aminu - Love his aggressiveness, offensively and defensively. Aminu can slash like we all dreamed Batum would, and he'll block anyone not just guards. Davis - What can be said, he brings the grit this team sorely needs. Sure to be a fan favorite. Thanks fakers!
I love lillard, think Cj would be a perfect 6th man, love aminu, really like plumlee, and think Davis would be a good first big off the bench. Imo we have a hole at starting sg, and pf. Leonard or vonleh could emerge to fill that hole, and crabbe or Henderson could fill the sg hole, but those are the positions I'd look to upgrade the most.
season starts end of this week, but just based on videos of him in HS/AAU/hoop summit. Haven't been this interested in a prospect before college, since I was with John Wall. ** sorry for the thread derailment!
Major logjam at guard for Western Conference All Stars. Lillard is top 5 in points and assists and still might not make it. Curry, Westbrook, Harden, Paul (?), and Kobe are givens. Then you have Lillard, Rubio, CJ, Klay. Does Lillard upend Paul? Is there a universe in which Chris Paul doesn't make the All Star team?
It always depends heavily on how the team is doing. You really think Kobe makes it? God he's awful. I think the locks are definitely: Steph Harden Westbrook Paul Rubio has no chance. CJ has no chance. Klay might make it if the Warriors are the top team. They usually get at least two All-Stars. I think Dame is on the outside looking in unless he's averaging 30 ppg.
upto PF size, guard handle and mobility, elite court vision. Would fit in perfectly at SF next to a smaller PF. (more in draft thread)
Aminu has arguably been our best player this season. CJ had the one good game. Dame has forced some bad shots and provides little on defense; though he has had very nice offensive stretches. Rouq has dominated defensively, been very effective on offense and is leading the team from 3 hitting 45%. He's brought it ever night too; while Dame and CJ get hot once ever four tries.
Wins will matter. Steph and CP3 may start. Unless Kobe gets voted as a starter which would be horrible. I'd say odds are Lillard doesn't make it; will be a shame since it may be his best play in his career. Other years he likely wouldn't have made it if everyone was healthy though and that could be the case again.
He may because it's (most likely) going to be his last year and the media will play up the sympathy factor and people will vote on that, rather than his always horrid play.
God if he gets voted in..... I really hate the fans in general. Very little actual basketball knowledge.
If he gets voted in can we go to the replay booth and review the voting? Are they counting hanging chads?
