    I can see the Francis comparison. Obviously he was a shoot first and then shoot second type of PG, but Lilard gets to the rim in a similar way as Stevie Franchise.

    Steve Francis was, without a doubt, a (short) shooting-guard. Lillard Seems to be a much more willing/capable passer.

    And Lillard is 41", right?

    EDIT: nevermind, Draftexpress says 39.5" max vert (which is what I assume is listed above).

    I could jump twice, and I still wouldn't be at 46".

    Actually, he really liked his younger cousin, which caused some problems for him.

    Because they are bigger. FYP.

    [video=youtube;bng3raIac0s]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bng3raIac0s&feature=related[/video]

    Lillard has really no midrange game to speak of (midrange game really needs work) so I think the Roy comparisons are a bit much. Roy had a very refined mid range game right out of College. I compare him to Derek Rose. Similar size, with no mid range game to speak of. But a better shooter.

    Reminds me of an unproven rookie PG. Ask me again in three months.

    no, no, no. He reminds me of a rookie point guard that hasn't proven himself yet.
