I thought it was cool that for the past many years, he and CJ McCollum were back court mates with the Trailblazers and both from FCS level schools (McCollum from Lehigh). I thought they presented one of the best back court duos in the NBA. Of course, CJ now in New Orleans where he will be expected to more than supporting cast. I think he is quite capable of handling the focus. I was also hoping that the Sixers might take run at Lillard in the off season. I think it would have sealed the Sixers positioning for the playoffs.
