Damian Lillard, Kyrie Irving, Ty Lawson, Kemba Walker and John Wall are expected to be invited to USA Basketball minicamp, according to Yahoo! Sports.
Mike Conley and George Hill are also expected to be invited to join. The massive amount of point guard invites is really just a testament to how deep point guard is in the NBA these days. None of these seven guards were named to any of the three All-NBA Teams and most of them will be targets in the first two rounds of fantasy drafts. The USA Basketball minicamp is expected to start in late July. May 23 - 7:55 PM

Damian Lillard - G - Trail Blazers

The Trail Blazers are expected to shop the No. 10 overall pick, according to CSNNW.com

The Blazers need "immediate help" for Damian Lillard, Nicolas Batum and LaMarcus Aldridge, so we wouldn't be surprised if a deal went down. Still, GM Neil Olshey won't simply trade the pick just to make a move, so it's far too early to say with certainty what the team might do.

Damian Lillard - G - Trail Blazers

Damien Lillard was the All-Rookie team's lone unanimous selection.

Lillard led all rookies in points (19.0), assists (6.5), 3-pointer made (2.3) and minutes (38.6). He's joined on the All-Rookie team by Bradley Beal, Anthony Davis, Dion Waiters and Harrison Barnes. The second team consisted of Andre Drummond, Jonas Valanciunas, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Kyle Singler and Tyler Zeller. Note that the All-Rookie teams are voted on by the league's coaches, so they carry more weight than the awards voted on by the media.

Damian Lillard said he wants to use the offseason to "bring my percentages up as a shooter, tighten up my handle, be a better ball-handler" and watch film to learn from his mistakes.

Fresh off of winning the Rookie of the Year Award, Lillard is not satisfied. Lillard averaged three turnovers and shot 42.9 percent from the field, so he could improve in both of those areas. The Weber State product shot 36.8 percent from behind the 3-point line and 84.4 percent from the charity stripe, so any improvement in those two areas would only make him more dangerous. Lillard also said he's well aware of his defensive critics and will spend time with Gary Payton during the offseason to improve that area of his game. This kid has a very bright future.

Damian Lillard - G - Trail Blazers

Damian Lillard was announced as the unanimous selection for the Rookie of the Year on Wednesday.

Lillard received all 121 first-place votes to become the fourth Blazer in team history to win the award and only fourth unanimous selection in NBA history. Lillard entered the season far behind presumed favorite and No. 1 overall pick Anthony Davis, but Lillard's stunning rookie campaign made him impossible to ignore. Lillard led the league in total minutes while averaging 19 points, 6.5 assists and 3.1 rebounds per game to go along with a rookie record 185 made 3-pointers. Yeah, the kid is good.

Damian Lillard - G - Trail Blazers

Damian Lillard will be named Rookie of the Year during a press conference on Wednesday.

The Trail Blazers have scheduled a "major announcement," but the team has made it clear that it will be Lillard winning his award. It will be interesting to see a breakdown of the voting, and Lillard will become the fourth player in Blazers team history to win the award. He finished the season with averages of 19 points, 6.5 assists, 3.1 rebounds and made 185 3-pointers, the most by a rookie in NBA history. He also led the league in total minutes with 3,167. The kid is going to be special.

Damian Lillard - G - Trail Blazers

Damian Lillard finished his once-in-a-generation rookie season on Wednesday with 21 points, one board, three assists, one steal and two 3-pointers on 7-of-13 shooting.

He's the first rookie to lead the NBA in minutes since Elvin Hayes in 1969, had the most 3-pointers ever for a rookie and became the second player in franchise history with 1,500 points and 500 assists. Lillard is a fantasy machine and savvy fantasy owners will have to take him in the second round next year to acquire his services.

Damian Lillard - G - Trail Blazers

Damian Lillard played a whopping 40 minutes, but hit just 4-of-12 shots and two 3-pointers for 12 points, three rebounds and eight assists in Tuesday's ugly loss to the Clippers.

Lillard came through if you needed dimes and threes, and the minutes were nice, but his lack of offense was disappointing, given the minutes he played. The Blazers have nothing to play for, but it does appear that Lillard has a decent chance of putting the final touches and some icing on the cake for his Rookie of the Year swan song on Wednesday night vs. Stephen Curry and the Warriors. Just watch for news to be sure he's going to play tonight.
Apr 17 - 1:27 AM
Damian Lillard - G - Trail Blazers

Damian Lillard finished Sunday's road loss with 30 points on 10-of-17 shooting, the first time in three weeks that he's made at least half of his shots.

Lillard even went 4-of-10 from downtown, with five rebounds, six assists, one steal and two blocks. He turned the ball over eight times, but that can be forgiven from a rookie PG who filled up the boxscore everywhere else. He's been a borderline top-30 option in eight-cat leagues this season.

Damian Lillard - G - Trail Blazers

Damian Lillard shot 3-of-14 from the field for 10 points with three boards, eight assists, one steal and one 3-pointer in 37 minutes on Friday.

He said that his right knee injury is fine and he didn't look to be bothered by it in a blowout loss. Russell Westbrook got the best of this year's Rookie of the Year, but Lillard should rebound on Sunday.

Damian Lillard - G - Trail Blazers

Damian Lillard, who appeared to sustain a right knee injury in Wednesday's game against the Lakers, reiterated that he's fine and doesn't plan to take any time off and is expected to play Friday vs. OKC.

Lillard said "it was just one of those sharp pains for a moment. I needed to sit down. So I sat down and rubbed the pain off." Lillard, who is on pace to play in all 82 games during his rookie season, added that "it would take a lot for me to sit out a game." We're witnessing a special young player who will not fly under the radar in any fantasy drafts next season.

Damian Lillard - G - Trail Blazers

Damian Lillard hit 12-of-25 shots and five 3-pointers for a career-high 38 points to go along with nine assists and three steals in Wednesday's loss to the Lakers.

This performance will go ahead and wrap up the Rookie of the Year Award for Lillard, who was obviously pumped up to go against Kobe and the Lakers tonight. He's been in a bit of a slump and dealing with a hip injury, but clearly looked healthy tonight.

Damian Lillard - G - Trail Blazers

Damian Lillard (hip) continued his shooting slump vs. Dallas on Sunday, as he scored 15 points on 6-of-19 field goals, including 0-of-5 from downtown.

Lillard hasn't shot at least 44 percent in any of the past eight games, all of which (not coincidentally) have been Blazers losses, the team's longest losing streak since 2004-05. His recent hip pointer didn't help, but it's reasonable to conclude that the future Rookie of the Year is simply worn down after playing 38.5 minutes per game, third-most in the entire NBA.
Apr 7 - 11:42 PM
Damian Lillard - G - Trail Blazers

Damian Lillard suffered a left hip pointer in Friday's loss to Houston, finishing with 11 points, three boards, seven assists, two steals and one 3-pointer.

He was in extreme pain when he had the injury and went to the locker room, but came back out just a few minutes later. Lillard is cooling off on offense, but the phrase "rookie wall" shouldn't come to mind for this year's Rookie of the Year.

Damian Lillard - G - Trail Blazers

Damian Lillard went to the locker room with a left hip pointer injury during Friday's game against the Rockets and he started the second half

He looked to take a shot to the midsection and was in agonizing pain as he walked back to the locker room. It appears that the crisis is averted for now and we'll see if he's managing the pain in the second half.
