Damian Lillard breakout season?

[Inferno]

Early in the season but it looks like he's improved vastly on his defensive woes, his finishing at the rim (53% last season to 68% as of now), and he's stepped up in the assists and rebounding...

Next great PG from the Bay

Lillard is my favorite non-Warrior player. He already 'broke out' last season though.

[Kevin Durant]

He's been inconsistent for the first 10+ games of the season. The first couple games his shot was off, but now in the last couple of games he's been on fire. His defense has gotten better compared to his first two seasons, and his field goal percentages, free throws, assists, and if he keeps this up, steals will be all career numbers.

He's got all the tools to be a star point guard; good shooter, reliable in the clutch and as mentioned, he's defense has definitely improved.

And he got hops!

except that he isn't an elite passer.

This. He's a top 5 pg. He can improve his defense a lot from last year, though.

He had 7 assists in the first quarter last night. 9 assists in 26 minutes. His passing game is looking much better. He is not an elite passer but the assist numbers are there. He needs to work on cutting down the risky passes.

[All Net]

He's Mr clutch too

what he did against Houston was epic.

[StephHamann]

alpha mentality

[BlazerRed]

Lillard is my ****ing boy!!!

That kinda sounds bad..

[Duggrr]

he's probably the 10th or so best player in the league right now, compared to about 18 last year. Of course we're only about 12 games in or so, but it looks like he's definitely improved.
