5. Portland Trail Blazers
Damian Lillard might be the most underrated player in the NBA. He’s damn good, and I’d put him just behind Steph and Russ for best point guard in the NBA. He is a prolific scorer, a talented distributor, and a hungry, hungry competitor. The Blazers hit a rough patch earlier this year, but perhaps an All-Star snub was all it took for Lillard to go beast mode. They have been unstoppable since the All-Star break, including a 32-point drubbing of the Warriors. Lillard scored 51 in that game, outscoring, out-assisting, out-stealing, out 3-pointing, and just plain outplaying the reigning MVP and NBA champion. It’s a long-shot, but the Blazers are trending in the right direction. |
