Reasons to Watch: Now
if you had asked me last season, Who is Damien Lillard? I probably would have
said who? Now I am like Lillard this kid is amazing!! He came out of a small
school (Weber State) but he has always had a great heart. Although Weber state
never really did anything as far as winning a NCAA title. But he was still one
of the most skilled and athletic of the point guards that declared for the
draft last year. Because of that he was taken #6 overall by the Portland Trail
Blazers. Now coming into this season I gave him the same “learning curve” that I
would give to any rookie player starting for an NBA team. But this kid
shattered that mold by coming out and putting up 20pts and 11 ast in his debut
game leading the Blazers to a victory. And though the team has come back to
earth in the sense of their record, he is still averaging 19 pts, 6ast per game
in his rookie season. I think that
Lillard will be a force to be reckoned with for years to come. That’s why he is
my #5 NBA Player to watch in 2012-13…
