I think Rudy held the Blazer record after Curry beat his rookie record. EDIT: yeah, Rudy had 159 made, then Curry came back with 166. http://bkref.com/tiny/G7bZv Here's a quick look at Lillard, Curry, and Rudy. Lillard has 134 3PM. EDIT 2: and Lillard's on pace to do it; he's averaging 2.2 makes per game, and only needs 2 per game.
This is pretty crazy but I think Lillard will be better than curry. Lillard seems like a stronger, more head strong player. The format in golden state since curry was there has always been run and gun; which gives him way more opportunities there. Lillard is doing it with still a slower paced team. Another side note. If the comparison is thought about; curry was a shit defender when he was first in the nba. Now he is pretty damn good. I hope Lillard can get to his defensive level in the same time.
Fair point, but even as a rookie, Curry's stealing ability far exceeded what Lillard can do; with that in mind I don't think Lillard will ever be as good as Curry defensively.
