Damian Lillard: Drops 39 points in Tuesday’s win

If Lillard is looking to make a statement this season, he’s certainly not wasting any time. The sharpshooting guard stuffed the stat sheet in a big way, leading the team in rebounding while shooting 66.7 percent from beyond the arc. Lillard is the unquestioned leader of a talented young Blazers squad and will like be among the league leaders in scoring and three pointers this season. Expect this to be more the norm than the exception and deploy him with confidence.
