I'm guessing now one watched a Weber St game this yea. Instead, let's google his stats and pretend like we know he's a good player

Lillard concerns me. On paper he seems like a good fit with Gordon, but he just hasn't proven it against good competition. His college stats/career is pretty much the equivalent of Terrence Williams averaging a triple double in the DLeague. That doesn't mean he can't play but the numbers could be inflated enough to make a bench player look like a starter. At a bare minimum he needs to look great against other top guards in team workouts or I wouldn't draft him at 10.

And I want nothing to do with Marshall either. He's just not the type of PG to put next to Gordon IMO. We are looking for a younger, better version of Jarrett Jack.

Is this even a question? Lillard, any day of the week.

I think Marshall is going to be an excellent player, but I would prefer Lillard for the Hornets because he's a better fit to play alongside Gordon. That said, I most definitely would not trade up for either of them. We are solid at the position and neither player will be a major upgrade, IMO. I'd rather sit back and hope Perry Jones, Austin Rivers, Quincy Miller, Jared Sullinger, Jeremy Lamb, etc. falls into our hands.
