    I was responding to Blazinaway saying Lillard's agility numbers were concerning. Proves nothing is exactly my point. No one is saying he is only good because he measured out as well as D-Rose athletically. That's just one piece to the puzzle.

    If he didn't measure out well people here would hold it against him.

    The point is it eliminates any kind of worry about him when it comes to his athleticism. It won't hold him back.

    No one has said because he measured out like Rose and Westbrook he'll be just as good as them.

    I'd probably do 6/11 for 4/24/33/34. You can get some good players in the early 2nd, but it's generally where the good Euros go for contract purposes.

    Santoransky's the only one that seems to have an NBA shot, unless Fournier somehow drops. He's intriguing.

    I'd also explore something like 4+24+Varejao for 6+11+Williams and Matthews.

    You're wrong.

    But my post was in jest, with all the nitpicking currently going on.

    Lillard-haters.... Look at David Locke's twitter right now. Some fodder for you. I'm on my iPhone.

    David Locke ‏@Lockedonsports

    In 2 Big Sky games v. Weber, Charles Odum of PSU went 19 of 31 from field and averaged 25 pts a game -- CHARLES ODUM

    David Locke ‏@Lockedonsports

    Watching Damian Lillard getting annihilated defensively by Portland State's Charles Odum makes me wonder about Westbrook, Lawson, Rubio, etc

    --

    Well, let's see:

    Lillard in 2 games vs Portland St: 78 total points on 25-41 shooting

    Odum - 38 total points on 12-22 shooting

    What the hell is this guy talking about?

    Since we've been talking about the three guards a lot here http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2012/writers/seth_davis/06/25/NBA-draft/index.html, these are some insights from a NBA scout:

    Seth Davis of SI.com has surveyed some NBA scouts for their thoughts on various first round prospects in Thursday's 2012 NBA Draft. Here's how a few of the guards linked to the Portland Trail Blazers graded out.
    ---------------------------------
    Damian Lillard, 6-3 guard, Weber State: "He's the most unselfish scoring point guard I have ever seen. He's a great kid -- a great kid. He played more like a two in college, but he played on a team where if he didn't score 24 points, they wouldn't have won a game. Who was he supposed to pass to? He has a little bit of a chip on his shoulder, like he's out to prove people wrong."

    Austin Rivers, 6-3 guard, Duke: "My biggest concern with him is size. He's never going to be a pure point because it's not in his personality. He's a capable passer, but he hasn't been a willing passer. He's hard to play with, frankly, because he dominates the ball. It depends on who the coach is. I did not like what I saw at Duke. I thought he was spoiled and selfish. He's a streaky outside shooter, not a great one."

    Dion Waiters, 6-4 guard, Syracuse: "I'm a big fan. He's Dwyane Wade-ish. I don't know if he's pure enough to be a two, but he's just a baller. And he definitely has a little toughness in him. The only drawback is he's a little small, but he's thick, and he's a surly guy. He'll be an East Coast version of Rodney Stuckey. I would take him over Jeremy Lamb five times a day."

    There are some great insights on a lot of other guys in the draft in that article also.

    RoyToy, he mentioned the last two games they played eachother in and only mentioned Lillard's D on Odum, not his Offense
