Damian Lillard - Our best PG hope

I like drafting an older guy for PG. I also don't think we need a prolific player at that spot that is great at one or two things, just someone who's not a liability in one way or another. If we are running an offense where the ball runs more through guys like Hayward or Burks, then we need a guy who's a threat to hit open shots and perimeter Js. He's put up decent shooting numbers from beyond the arc throughout college, and his FT% has always been solid. I'd only take a guy like Marshall if we landed someone like Barnes as well so at least someone was an outside threat.
 
Do I dare say that we have a Weber State inside in our midst? This could be huge!

Yeah lol. I graduated from Weber in April, but I have always been and always will be a huge Weber basketball fan. Ever since I went to a basketball camp ran by Harold "the show" Arceneaux, and Eddie Gill when I think I was in 6th grade. I have met all of the current players at some point including Dame. I remember last year I saw Lillard and some other players at the mall. Dame actually came up to me and talked to me. i was surprised he recognized me. since than I have ran into him on campus a bunch of times and he always says hi to me.
 
I mean this the 'right' way .. but yes, Bodhi, I took notice, back in the day, when you were the first to push Damian hard. Not saying he's gonna be a star, but if there's one guy that was first to pimp his mid-major *** .. it was you. :)

I got ya when/if arguments emerge about first in.

You truly are the Patron Saint of Jazzfanz.....

PKM, you now have some competition on your hands!
 
This kid needed his own thread.

Scouts liked what they saw last night.

”Damian Lillard's season may be over, but his 29 pts, 10 reb, 7 assts impressed scouts again. I think he'll be a Top 10 pick in the NBA Draft”

”I think both the Jazz and the Suns would be natural fits for Lillard on draft night.”

He just gave me positive rep, but I have to call out PKM on this one. He said Lillard wasn't going to be a first rounder. I've seen him a few times and I like him. But at the same time, he's a score first guy. I want a true point.

You may be my favorite poster, dead serious.

I'll take being called out. I get good info from NBA personnel and watch a lot of cbb. That doesn't make for a an exact situation, obviously. I'm happy for the kid that he's getting noticed .. much more than me being right about anything.. You played ball, you know what it means to want the good guys to win.

Can you imagine if Lillard didn't score as much as he does on that team? Who would he defer to?
 
PKM what are your feeling on Kenneth Faried in the NBA so far? I was kind of shocked that you weren't a fan of him even though he played college in your home state of Kentucky and you watch a lot of college games. Is he surprising you?
