How far does Lillard have to take the Blazers before he can be called the best..

Let's just say that IMHO Lillard is the only one on the team with a shot at having his name put up in the rafters. OK, mayyyyyyybe LMA, but probably not, we've got too many guys up there.

 

So far after 9 games; he's outperformed Rose and Paul his rookie year. What he does after that maybe a different story.

The other part of it is Rose really didn't have much help; neither did Paul. Lillard is doing his magic with two players getting 20 points a game.

 

However I cant help but wonder the flip side of that. If he was on a truly turrrible team and he was the main or only option he just may average 27 a game. Assist would be down though
