After three years of hard work, Ladd has gradually established himself as a superstar. Who is the number one point guard in the league in his mind?
Lillard thinks it’s Stephen Curry, not Chris Paul. Lillard also named the league’s most difficult point guard to guard, which is Russell Westbrook.

“If you want to choose the best point guard in the league right now, I might think it’s Stephen Curry.” Lillard said.
Curry averaged 22.9 points, 8 assists, 5.1 rebounds and 2.2 steals per game this season. His shooting percentage was as high as 49.2%, 39.2% from three-point range, 3 three-pointers per game, and 92.3% from free throws.
Not only Lillard, but Jeff Van Gundy and other NBA veterans also believe that Curry is now the number one point guard.
Chris Paul was considered the number one point guard in the league in the past few years, but Curry has risen strongly in the past two seasons.
Curry is very popular among fans, and he was given the nickname “Moe God”, and his popularity is very good.
In the newly announced All-Star Western Conference voting, Curry became the Western Conference vote leader with 958,014 votes, which is close to LeBron James and is expected to become the league’s All-Star vote leader.
If nothing else, Curry will once again replace Paul as the All-Star starter this season.
Curry has improved significantly in the past two seasons, with more diversified offensive methods and improved organizational skills.
When Curry first joined the league, like Klay Thompson, the main offensive method was shooting, but now his offense is diversified.
Curry’s current breakthrough ability is also very strong. It is even more difficult to defend as a comprehensive point guard who can shoot and break through.
This is why Curry’s average playing time this season has decreased by 3 minutes compared with last season, but his efficiency value has increased.
“If you want to choose the most difficult point guard in the league, this is probably not Stephen. Stephen is really difficult to defend. His shooting ability is very strong, and his organizational ability is beyond people’s imagination. However, the most difficult point guard
, I’m afraid I’m going to take Russell Westbrook,” Lillard said.
Wei Shao’s physical fitness is amazing, and his explosive power in the first step of breaking through is very strong. He also has mid-range shooting and three-point ability, so it is really very difficult to defend.
However, Wei Shao has encountered trouble recently, and his offensive efficiency has dropped sharply.
In the past 5 games, Wei Shao averaged 18.4 points, 6 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game, shooting only 27.3% from the field and 12.5% from the three-point range.
In the Thunder’s recent 83-104 disastrous defeat to the Kings, Wei Shao made only 3 of 19 shots and only scored 10 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists. He made 7 turnovers, many of which were offensive fouls, which directly led to the collapse of the Thunder.
