Why are you mentioning Lillard? He is a rookie. And for the past few seasons Philly has been Iggy's team.
Damian Lillard stats tracking:

82 Games

I think he means when comparing them as prospects as Jrue is only 21-22.

He is a top 5 point guard. Only dudes above him for sure are Chris Paul, Westbrook, Rose, and Parker.

He turns the ball over way too much to be a top 5 PG(and no, not every one of his turnovers is the result of seeing plays develop differently than teammates). His handle isn't as tight as it could be, he gets caught passing in the air too much, and gets stripped on traffic too often. Still, he's a really nice prospect, he's just not as good as the sixers fans tend to think he is right now.

And Williams, Curry, Rondo, Lawson, and Irving. The others may be arguable, but there's no way you can rank him above those 5.

He'll always be better than Liliard for his defense IMO. I think Holiday will be a perennial all star, but not a superstar.

Experience means much more than age does.

I think Holiday is always going to be one of those guys who puts up very solid stats but isn't flashy or known enough to make all star games.

He will probably hover around just outside the top 5 PG's at during his prime.

And since the league is pg heavy right now, that means he can be a top 25 player still. Or maybe even top 20.

All these guards in the NBA can score. Let's see him share the ball a bit better. Top 15 IMO currently and depending on your flavor he will linger between 8 and 15 for his career.
There is no asterisk on ANY N.B.A. titles.
