Have to like the future for Portland

[thebigabd]

PG: Damian Lillard (rookie)
-Averaging 18.5 points, 6.5 assists, 3.3 rebounds. What a get in the draft for Portland. This guy is going to be big time for years to come, and has been awesome since day one.

SG: Wes Matthews
-Averaging 15 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals. Not great, but a good solid player.

SF: Nicolas Batum
-Averaging 16 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists per game. Very promising forward who is still only 24..

JJ Hickson
-Not sure who screwed up with JJ, but it looks to be Sacramento (big surprise). Cleveland traded him, Sacramento waived him, and now he is a double-double machine for the Blazers next to Lamarcus Aldridge. Only 24 years old. Look at the December he is having:

14 points, 12 rebounds
14 points, 15 rebounds
16 points, 11 rebounds
12 points, 12 rebounds
24 points, 16 rebounds
18 points, 18 rebounds
19 points, 15 rebounds

C: Lamarcus Aldridge
-Oldest guy in the starting lineup at 27. Great scorer, solid rebounder. All-star caliber player entering his prime.

They just need more players at the 2/3 spots and they will be in great shape.

They will be an interesting team to watch over the next 2-3 years.
