Damian Lillard's Sister Embarking on Her Own Basketball Journey

Erik C. Anderson of the Oregonian caught up with LaNae Lillard, member of the Lakeridge Pacers girls basketball team and sister of Damian Lillard. She looks like she has a future with the varsity squad:

"LaNae's absolutely great," first-year Lakeridge coach Jillian Noe said. "She's really come out and surprised us this year. She's just strong. She has a knack for the ball, knack for the rim. She was really good, long arms so she can get her little touches in. She's pretty quick, pretty quick for a post. She has really provided us a lot with her post-play this season."

She also gets plenty of support from big brother:

"(Damian's) there for me," LaNae said. "He supports me like mentally. If I have a game he texts me like ‘How did you do?' And tells me how I can improve."
