Spurs coach Gregg Popovich was the latest coach to sing the praises of Blazers rookie Damian Lillard after he poured in 29 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists in Portland's 98-90 win Thursday:
"I think he's a wonderful player. His skills are obvious, but I like his demeanor as much as I like his skills. He really plays within himself, and that doesn't mean he doesn't play hard. He aggressive, he's not afraid of contact, but he's got a real fine demeanor and understanding of what's going on out on the court. He can shoot it and he can drive it, ad I think he works hard on D. He's a fine young player for Portland."
