1.  Damian Lillard (Last Month: 1)

December Stats: 24.0 PPG/7.7 APG/5.0 RPG

Best Game of December (so far): 12/8 vs. CLE – 33 points/6 assists/6 rebounds

As the undisputed star on the roster, Damian Lillard continues to put up some big numbers. Last night’s 29 point effort against New York marks the 4th time this month he has scored 25 points or more. With a weaker supporting cast than in years prior, Lillard is actually putting up a career high in assists. His December mark of 7.7 APG is considerably higher than his career average of 6.2.

What makes Lillard one of the most consistent player in the NBA is his ability to stay on the court. In fact, he hasn’t missed a single game in his 4 year career. For a franchise that’s been cursed with the injury bug for so long, it’s nice to see that Lillard has plenty of repellent to fight it off.
