En route to an almost certain Rookie of the Year campaign, Lillard achieved a number of accomplishments. He was the fourth rookie to average at least 19 points and six dimes (previously, Oscar Robertson, Allen Iverson, and Damon Stoudamire). Furthermore, Lillard became the third first-year player to lead the NBA in minutes played (Wilt Chamberlain and Elvin Hayes also took that honor). Over his initial season, Lillard averaged 19.0 points (on 42.9 percent shooting), 6.5 assists, 3.1 rebounds, 2.3 treys, and 0.9 steals in 38.6 minutes, solidifying his status as a top-15 player heading into fantasy drafts next fall.","date":"Mon Apr 22"},"fullName":"Damian Lillard","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Selected with the No. 6 pick in the 2012 NBA draft, Lillard might not be as well-known as players like Anthony Davis or Bradley Beal, but he might be in the running for rookie of the year honors when the season is over. With Raymond Felton gone, and little competition in his path, Lillard is a scoring point guard who should immediately lock down the starting job. Coming out of Weber State, his competition level was questioned by some, but he put those concerns to rest after he turned in a sensational performance in the Las Vegas Summer League, where he averaged 26.5 points, 4.0 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 2.7 3-pointers over four games. Summer League stats certainly can't be relied on as an indicator for future success, but given his skill set and projected playing time, Lillard should be considered a nice sleeper candidate for his scoring, 3-point shooting and free throw percentage.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Fri Oct 12"},"playerRater30DAY":7.2,"playerRater15DAY":6.8,"positionRank":6}
