The thing with Lillard is that he will never be an efficient scorer.

And how do you know that?? Not trying to sound like an arse but you cant sit there and tell me Lilliard wont improve on his efficiency. Already at 43% from the field and about 36% from 3. He might not be as efficent as AD, but thats because hes a guard and plays away from the rim. Curry and Carmelo are both shooting just 44% and Lilliard is right at 43% in his rookie year. Westbrook is only shooting 43% and is he not a star? Paul George, D Will and Batum are shooting 42% and everyone loves them. Same with Joe Johnson, Luol Deng, Paul Pierce, Monte Ellis, John Wall, Brandon Jennings, and Klay Thompson. Lilliard is shooting better than all them. And they are some big time NBA players. And turnover ratio improves too. There are a few things that all rookies struggle at during there 1st year and its FG% and turnover rate. They all get better the older they get. Well maybe not all, Westbrook still struggles with this but he is 1 of the most talented guys in the NBA.

Lilliard will improve on his efficiency and turnover rate the older he gets, just the majority of NBA players do. He's already responsible for 30% of his teams scoring. 19 scoring himself and 12 more on assists. Pretty impressive. And, he's already turned into there most important player minus Aldridge. Also, the Blazers are strictly a jump shooting team. The only player that lives in the paint is JJ Hickson, and he's putting up career numbers with Lilliard so far. If they can get some more help off the bench and add a solid C that likes to bang around in the paint, that will help Lilliard tremendously.

O and he is already a borderline star. So is AD. I'm not making this an AD vs Lilliard. Both are going to be great. But to say Lilliard won't improve is absurd. Both will be great NBA players.
