Lillard: undersized, small school, score first type player...risky.

6'3 195, benches 300 lbs, second highest vert in the draft?

i'd hope we'd still get the marLE post draft rankings...

i was actually shocked at how critical hollinger was when discussing lillard. here's his analysis

Lillard has some positive markers, but the negative indicators shouldn't be ignored either. Seniors taken in the lottery have a poor track record of success, and Lillard seems to fit the prototype of many. He doesn't have strong athletic metrics, and he played a very weak schedule as a collegian.

The offsetting positive is how tremendously efficient he is offensively. Lillard shot 40.9 percent on 3s and 88.7 percent from the line during his senior year, so at worst he is going to be a tremendous floor spacer. Additionally, despite having to be his team's main scorer at Weber State, his pure point rating wasn't bad. It assumed he'll find teammates more as a second or third option in the pros.

For those reasons, I have no problem with him as a first-rounder, but at No. 6, you want star potential. Based on his age and pedigree, Lillard seems to have a low ceiling in that regard.

i do like the Lester Earl post-draft rankings

it would take you and i debating the rosters to equal his lone output

Just because of FG%?

He scores, passes, shoots a ton of 3s and gets over a steal a game. What am I missing?

Wesley Matthews

yeah there are some guys i'd love to snag here, but i cannot

he single handidly rips your FG%...

im curious to see how he does again in a normal season
