Damian Lillard - terrible defender?

[iamgine]

I heard someone said this...might be Jalen Rose or something.

One of the worst defender in the NBA

Is this true?

[Smook A.]

Curry, Lillard and Irving all play bad defense

[JohnFreeman]

Worst defenders at PG:
1. Felton
2. Lillard
3. Irving
4. Curry

[JtotheIzzo]

He makes Steve Nash look like TR Dunn.

what what?

[bballbball]

Yeah he's awful. Just this past week he gave up a triple double to George Hill (who also shot like 63% for 37 pts) and Rubio has his best shooting game in like 2 years scoring against him, 25 pts on 50% shooting.

[buddha]

yup. terrible, and with no good paint protectors in oregon he gets exposed.

[BlazerRed]

Duh. I thought it was common knowledge?

[raiderfan19]

Worst defensive player in the nba. Thought everyone knew that. Makes prime Steve Nash look like prime Gary Payton defensively

[Im so nba'd out]

Worst defenders at PG:
1. Felton
2. Lillard
3. Irving
4. Curry
Curry tries atleast so he shouldnt be on that list.

Curry tries atleast so he shouldnt be on that list.

Lillard tries too, but he just isn't very good at it.

Harden needs to be high on the list of bad perimeter defenders.

[finchyyy]

Yeah terrible defender, but he's a second year point guard. We can't expect him to be Gary Payton out there. He'll improve.

He's gonna work with Payton over summer; we'll see if he improves :applause:

Nearly true.

Lillard has a defensive rating (DRtg) of 112, which is only matched by Joe Johnson, Brandon Knight and Nick Young. Bruke, Marshall, Mayo and Neal are worse (Only looked at players with 10 PPG or more).

George Hill, Stephenson, Westbrook, Allen and Paul tops the list.

Can't believe he is an All star :facepalm

[TiagoSimoes]

Tony Parker

:biggums:

[pegasus]

He is terrible in that regard but he's only in his second season. Give him 2-3 more seasons to improve before you judge him harshly and call him Amian Lillar or something.

[Mass Debator]

Wasn't he putting in time with the Glove this past summer?

[oarabbus]

Harden is goddamn awful.



Tony Parker

Have you made even 1 halfway worthwhile post since you joined, you ****ing idiot?

[Milbuck]

Tony Parker
I see you edited your post. What gem did you write up before you said "No, this isn't shitty enough"?

[Inferno]

Wasn't he putting in time with the Glove this past summer?

He and John Wall were planning on working with him last summer, but couldn't find time due to sponsored trips and such, so they're gonna work this summer instead

[navy]

Yes, he is a terrible defender. Then again, point Guard is the hardest position to guard.

[IncarceratedBob]

Stars dont play defense in today's NBA. Defense is for role players

[Milbuck]

Stars dont play defense in today's NBA. Defense is for role players
And that's why most stars aren't superstars. If Love, Blake, and Lillard were good defenders, they'd be superstars without a doubt.

[Demitri98]

They said on the 3rd Birdmester that teams go out of their way to attack him, so yeah, he's pretty awful. He's got the work ethic to get better though and I have no doubt he will.
