7. Damian Lillard, Portland Trail Blazers
2014-15 Stats: 21.0 points, 6.2 assists, 4.6 rebounds
Let’s add another elite scoring point to this list of superb point guards. Damian Lillard is in the same boat as Irving, nearing the prime of his career.
Lillard just signed a massive max deal with the Trail Blazers and will be a mainstay up in the northwest for a very long time. He is a terrific athlete, can shoot and pass effectively. However, his defense is among the worst in the league at his position, but it’s his terrific scoring ability that puts him at number 7.
Yup, he’s that good on the offensive end.
Next: Mike Conley
