Top 20 assists in the entire league. He averages the same assists a game as Curry, Nash, Lawson, and Jennings. So he's top 15 in scoring and top 20 in assists in the entire NBA. Those 2 stats right there make him a top 20 guard player in the NBA.


You must have Monta Ellis penciled for the Hall of Fame

Ha he's average? Ok so what does a player have to average for you to considering them great? 30 and 15 shooting 55% from field and 45% from 3? Or just a great PER?


Yes, he's average. Do you understand he's a PG who averages 6.5 APG in 39mpg? Do you understand he's a pg who shoots 16 times a game inefficiently? Those numbers aren't good.

He can start by shooting less and passing more. He can have better shot selection. He's got the best scoring PF playing next to him and an up and coming SF. Use them.

CP is great. Parker is great. Nash is great. Rondo is great. They make their team better. They are the definition of great PGs.

Lillard is not great. Jennings is not great. Vasquez is not great. Conley isn't great.

At worst Lillard is a Monte Ellis or Brandon Jennings. Those guys are damn good and have been all stars.

You do realize he's a rookie? He will grow each year and will become a more efficient player. People are jumping the gun on Lillard thinking this is the best he will be. His 1st season in the NBA and averages 19 points and 6.5 assists a game. Pretty damn good. He will get better each year.

Gravy isn't great. But he's serviceable for our team. Jennings is pretty good. So is Conley. Lillard is a rookie and putting up better #s then them. Curry is a PG that averages 6 assists and 38 mins a game. Isn't he considered elite?

And most rookie guards aren't efficient scorers. And his FG% for the season isn't bad, but it isn't good I agree with that. But he struggled early on just like most rookies. Since the all star break he is averaging 21 points, 6.6 assists, 47% from field, 44% from 3. Pretty damn good.

Aldridge is having a great year. He's using him. Not like Aldridge isn't getting his. Batum stated off great but for the past few months has had a wrist issue and can't shake it. He thought he broke it a few weeks ago. He's not shooting a lot because he's injured and has no confidence in his shot because of his wrist. He has even stated that he isn't going to shoot a lot because of his wrist. And I agree all those PGs are great. But Go look at the rookie numbers. Only guy that had numbers similar to Lillard was CP, and he scored 3 pts less and had 1 more assist. He also shot worse than Lillard.

Rome wasn't built in a day. He's a rookie. He will get better and become more efficient.
