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.

Inefficient volume scorers aren't good. I dont care if they make all star teams or not.

He shoots 45% from the field and 45% from 3. He's shot 507 three pointers. 45%.

Chris Paul was a 20 year old rookie. Lillard is a 22 year old. Chris Paul had a PER of 22, Lillard is at 16.

Paul's age 22 season he was averaging 21/12 on 49% shooting. Led the league in assists and steals

You're banking on an inefficient 22 year old rookie getting a lot better. We shall see.
