4.) Damian Lillard

Leading arguably the biggest surprise team last season, Damian Lillard comes in as the fourth best point guard in the West.

Lillard continues to take the league by storm as he led the Portland Trail Blazers to the 5th best record in the Western Conference. Armed with a potent clutch gene, Lillard is not only one of the biggest faces of Adidas, but for the entire NBA.

After averaging over 25 points and six assists a game, Lillard joins C.J. McCollum in arguably the league’s second best back court.

Offensively, he can match any point guard in the league, but if he can round out his game as a playmaker and defender, Lillard could take the next step in his career.
