    Is there any doubt that this guy would have challenged Anthony Davis for #1 overall pick if he'd played at Duke, UNC, or Kentucky?

    I know it's summer league. I know we've seen numbers like this before from Jerryd Bayless and Qyntel Woods, but I would counter that by saying:

    1. The summer league has changed a lot since Woods. Better teams, better players. I think there was even some celeb team or some shit back when we were going to SL games in LA.

    2. Jerryd Bayless had to work for his numbers. Lillard makes it look so effortless, like he know's it's just summer league and he's barely trying but still putting up amazing numbers.

    I really like his confidence and his overall approach to the game. I think we put him with Aldridge, Batum, and Hickson and this guy is going to do great things.

    Even without watching the game yet, I can already admit that I was foolish for thinking we should have drafted Drummond at #6.

    People only like him because of License to Lillard!

    That's it!

    You know it's funny, I was happy with the pick, but I was bummed that TRob didn't drop to us. Now I'm actually glad he didn't.

    yeah a lot of doubt, with a huge premium on skilled bigs and AD being 3 years younger.

    Add me to that list. Man, what a stud. That dunk in the lane was downright sick.

    I like TRob's demeanor. But, he kind of looks like Shelden Williams.

    I didn't say he WOULD be the #1 pick, I said he'd challenge :grin:

    I had my doubts, but he's winning me over. This last game in particular showed me a lot of range in his floor game; he was mixing his scoring and passing almost perfectly.

    Surprised it took this long for this thread to be created.

    I should've done it myself after SL game 1...

    He shoots like a girl :)

    Like others have said, the License to Lillard videos got me on the bandwagon before the draft.

    Regret: I was in Ogden during the draft and "Damian Lillard Day", but couldn't go because I didn't have access to my car.

    I refuse to like him until he goes back and plays for a bigger college.

    How long before we hear he wants to leave Portland for a "bigger" city?
