Lillard was absolutely nasty in college. As a Senior its tough to get selected with the 6th pick, but as a Senior from Weber State? His ability to score and run the pick and roll (which is rare in college) are the main reason that NBA scouts took notice and the Trailblazers took a chance.
Lillard came in as a 3 star recruit with notable offers from Wichita State, SMU, Fresno State, Boise State, and Weber State.
