Damian Lillard has wise words of advice for Weber State pal Joel Bolomboy

Lillard on Bolomboy's path to becoming an NBA player: "It’s going to come down to being the best version of himself all of the time."

“He was definitely one of the main reasons why I committed to Weber State,” Bolomboy said of the Trail Blazers star, who was the host for the Jazz’s second-round draft pick when he was being recruited by the Wildcats.

“He was just a great example, and the success that he had over his time at Weber State and just the improvements he made every single year, I kind of saw the same for myself.
