Tyson Chandler who can score. Marcin Gortat-like. So a 14-16pts and 10-11 rebs prime if he gets his act together.
Eh... I don't know..... those numbers are definitely All-Star worthy and I'm not sure if I see him putting those up. But if he does, yay for us.
Yeah, that's why I said "if he gets his act together". He already has the athleticism and mobility that most big men don't have. So it's a big if but a worthy if.
I think the biggest problem will simply be finding touches. With Lillard, Batum, and Aldridge, there won't be a lot of other shots to go around.
am I the only one who is genuinely pissed when Lillard misses, not because it means the Blazers didn't get points, but because I expect him to make it every time?
For me, every miss seems to kick me out of the game and make me realize "Oh yeah, he's just a rookie. He'll get better with experience." Because yeah, he seems so poised out there most of the time, you just expect he'll pull a make out of his hat.

It's possible. In the same way Joel Freeland is now better than Greg Oden. In other words, it has less to do with how hard Leonard works than how healthy Lillard is.
