Following potential 2012 draftees

[Jazz4ever]

Lillard had 22pts, 4ast, 4stl and 2rbs against the mighty Vikings of Portland St tonight. Didn't shoot that well from the field but was 9/10 from the ft line. Have I mentioned I wanna see this kid in the tourney?

Monster game. Dare we say he has the "it" factor.

Alright....I'll be the black sheep here.
He did get all that in 39 minutes and he also had 4 TO's.

4 TO's as the team's primary ball handler and scorer isn't bad.

I think the question about Lillard, other than competition, is whether he's a true PG or a SG/Combo. Sometimes, when these kids are on a less-than-elite team, they are forced to become scorers. Other times, they just really are shoot-first guards. Hard to say playing on a team that needs him to score .. and playing bad teams.

Again, I think he'll be good.

There's no question there's some major question marks. Having said that, 1 of 4 from three doesn't bother me because his season is at 44%. His 4to's doesn't bother me because he averages 2.1, iirc.

True

In a way. Not as much as Rivers though.

Wait...

I don't think it's cool to say something like, "WHOA that kid has 'it' ... in a way." 'It' is something that you have or don't. Right?

He leads all PG's in assist/TO ratio, so turning the ball over definitely is not one of the knocks on him.

Yup, those are the two question marks with him...as opposed to the 72 with Marshall.

This pains me spycam, it really does, but I think you are thinking of Machado. Who WAS leading the nation in that category about a month ago. It is now Kendall Marshall.

As for Lillard's assist-to-turnover .. not in the top 100.
