It really does comes down to that...Had Lillard been some 19 year old kid and put up these same stats...I would not even fathom comparing the two, because to me it would seem that Lillard would have 3 more years to become an even greater guard by the time he's 22...

But in this scenario, they are the same age and are putting up the same stats...Neither will get taller, neither will get faster, they probably won't get much bigger...So to predict one will be better than the other is to say, "I know for sure that player A, will work harder than player B"...or even more ridiculous is, "player A will develop better skills than player B"...

I feel like I've wasted enough time trying argue that one simple point...I'll just watch both of them play and enjoy seeing them develop into stars...
