Could Leonard be better than Lillard in a few years?

i see him as an oldyn polynice type with a better crossover

 

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.

 

Lillard's shot is too money. Leonard would have to reach Gasol status.

 

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.

 

I think Lillard is genuinely pissed when he misses, not because it means the Blazers didn't get points, but because he expects to make it every time.

 

Trade him now before the bloom is off the rose.

 

Trade the whole team, imo, before the bloom is off the rose.

 

hopefully a Sam Bowie type minus the Mr Glass aspect

STOMP

 

What bloom? What rose?

 

Well this is the city of Roses, I'm sure you could find a rose somewhere.

 

LOL @ Billy Ray Schintzius. Wonder what his daughter Miley is up to these days.

BNM

 

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.
