The Lillard they selected this summer has performed exceptionally well so far. In 15 games in November, he averaged 19 points and 6.5 assists, putting up numbers equivalent to a top-tier guard in the league. Under his leadership, the Bobcats have successfully cracked into the top eight in the Eastern Conference.
Who could have seen this coming?
Even though the new season has just begun and there's a long way to go before it ends, being in 7th place in the East now doesn't guarantee they'll stay there.
But the problem is...
The Bobcats have never been at the table before!
This time, they actually got a seat for a while, which is an incredible achievement in itself.
But what's more surprising to the media is that the Bobcats' choice didn't backfire this time!
Lillard's performance has been the best among 2012 rookies so far.
The "top pick" obviously still needs to grow!
