Joe Freeman: Damian Lillard said he has worked out for Toronto, Sacramento and the #Blazers. Has plans for two more at Houston and Golden State.

They are bringing more guys in for workouts on Monday, presumably Point Guards, but looking at this Lillard won't be one of them.

Interesting. I'm starting to believe Austin Rivers will be our pick.

Lillard will only do individual workouts. I don't think they are down with that, they like group workouts, outside of Davis.

That might be enough to scare me away. His ONLY negative is not being able to really compare him to his peer group. Why wouldn't you want to erase that negative? His agent is either scared of honest competition or thinks he's already a lock for a top 10 pick.

He's the top PG in the draft he won't help himself any draft-wise working against the guys who are going to go behind him.

Yup. Doesn't do him any good.

For the past few years its gotten to where most top 10 locks don't do group workouts.

Its a lose/lose situation. He has nothing to gain, and a lot to lose

I disagree. The guys on ESPN gave him a ton of credit for being one of the only lottery picks to actually go through all of the workouts at the combine. They said he did that specifically because he wanted teams to see him against his peers.
