Offensive Role: Table Setter
Defensive Role: Off-Ball Guard
Damian Lillard's most signature skill — 3-point shooting — became far less reliable last season but, at 34, he's bounced back in a big way and is still remarkable effective as an offensive engine. He finishes unbelievably well for a player his age and his size, earns oodles of easy points for his team at the free-throw line and understands the effect his gravity has on a defense, setting up his teammates for tons of easy shots.

At this point in his career, you'd maybe like him to be a big more judicious with his shot selection from beyond the arc but he's still a threat to catch fire at any moment and there are only a handful of players you'd rather have with the ball in their hands as the clock winds down in a tight game.

The pairing with Giannis Antetokounmpo hasn't gone the way the Bucks were hoping but tales of his demise as one of the best point guards in the league have been greatly exaggerated.
