maybe, but he could also just wind up being a slightly above average/mediocre player.

His scoring numbers are nice, but he's playing 39 MPG and is 20th among PGs in FG% at 42.9%

Davis is on the superstar track for sure....Lillard, I don't know.

I completely agree that AD is on superstar track, but so is Lilliard. Averaging 19 and 7 in his rookie season is pretty ridiculous. CP average 16 and 9 his rookie year, Westbrook 15 and 4 just to compare. Yea, he plays 36 minutes a night. But a lot of good players do. AD doesn't. Not sure why not, but that's just how Monty is using him. No point in knocking in Lilliard because he plays 36 minutes a night and AD doesn't.

And Lilliard is closer to his ceiling I Agee, but that's because he's 3 years older than AD. And it's really hard to compare a PF to a PG and saying 1 will be miles ahead of the other. Lilliard is already an adult compared to AD. His game will become more effiecnt and polished. AD will make a massive leap because he's still what 19? Lilliard won't make that leap because he's already past it. But he will become more efficient. I mean it is just his rookie season. I can't remember another PG in recent years average what Lilliard is averaging in his rookie year, except Iverson. Who averaged a ridiculous 24 points and 7 assists.

In a few years, both guys will be at the top of there positions and in the NBA. :

I'm really not sure where everyone is getting this "Lillard won't be a superstar" thing from

Dude's in a VERY elite category historically as far as rookie years are concerned

Sounds like our guy isn't going to win ROY sour grapes to me
