5- Damian Lillard – Portland Trailblazers

Stats: 34.0 points, 6.2 rebounds, 4.5 assists

Record: 2-2

Damian Lillard has put on a show for the Portland Trail Blazers in all three games this season. Even more impressive, he’s done so while being one of the most efficient players in the league.

Shooting 54.9 percent from the field, 44.4 percent from beyond the arc and 90.5 percent from the free throw line is not easy, yet Lillard is making it seem that way.

While it is early in the season, his numbers will more than likely see a slight drop as the sample size gets larger. Lillard is in prime position to lead his Blazers to a top 4 or 5 finish in the watered-down Western Conference.
