There may be a lot of Lillard homers here but he IS having one of the best and most consistent starts to a rookie season in a long time. Sure its a small sample but what encourages me even more is the consistency part. In the first 15 games of a rookie season: http://bkref.com/tiny/KJDdv http://bkref.com/tiny/OSdng http://bkref.com/tiny/jsqpT (was surprised by Mutumbo on this one) http://bkref.com/tiny/lODAz (wait till you see the top name) http://bkref.com/tiny/dpbP0 Sorry so many links but I thought some of the stat people might find these interesting.
Yeah when he plays he is a 20/10 guy easy. Hopefully he isnt "injury prone" but he is not off to a good start with that. I would love to see him healthy and have him and Lillard battle it out.
Good job on making those lists. I clicked on some other players in the lists. Many had short careers, after the initial 15-game bursts. It reminds me that the NBA ejects a lot of great talent.
