    Self explanatory--which pair do you think will have a bigger statistical impact on their team next year?

    Davis will be far more productive than Leonard, and I'll say that in combined points and assists Rivers and Lilliard will be a push.

    Lillard / Leonard will far outperform Roy and Oden next season.

    Davis will outscore Leonard, but I think Leonard will out rebound Davis. I think they'll be about even.

    Davis and Rivers are going to a much worse team than Portland, and one without an All-Star who is a Top 10 scorer in the NBA.

    If Davis/Rivers don't put up better numbers than the two Blazer picks, then that would be very bad news for that franchise.

    Debatable. If Roy returns, he might outperform our rookies all by himself.

    Let's put the minimum games played at 20 before using Per Game stats.

    Lets see...

    Lillard/Matthews/Batum/Aldridge/Leonard

    or

    Rivers/Gordon/??/Davis/??

    Almost imposssible to tell, but considering we have 3 legit starters... and NOH has 1...

    I'm going with Rivers and AD over Lillard/Meyers.

    College half-court line is shorter than NBA. You have to discount the %s a bit. That translates to like 4.2

    How long are we going to read this illogical nonsense?

    We haven't had luck with PGs selected in the late first-rounder and second round, so we should never select a highly rated PG in the lottery. Taurean Green wasn't a good PG, so we should have passed on Rose (given the chance).
