Please before you criticize my order; research and make informed comments. Some of you are too young to have known some of the earlier players and their impact or stats for multiple seasons while with Blazers.
Did I leave anyone important off the list? Discuss.
 
You left out the most important players to ever wear a Blazer jersey.

Darius Miles

I think Petrovic is a good call even though he didn't play that much here.

Good thing this is opinion based, otherwise id mark this as a fail. LOL. Sorry but how is Kersey tops of the list for a franchise that has had so many quality PF's?
Also, Ainge at the bottom? Below players like rodriguez and Twardzick?

All I can say is wow....

UNLESS you are ranking them in order of thier output ONLY with the Blazers?

IF this is a list of career bests and not just Blazers bests, there is NO WAY Ainge is at the bottom of the list. and there is no WAY Kersey is at the top of the list. Sorry. Thats my opinion.

Oops, My bad. I did miss that, but then I suppose I did because I thought this was a list of tops of all time?

Hell I can just list ten players at each position in no particular order too. :)

Sorry Maris. I think your taking the easy road. Rank them please! :)

Going on overall career - not only what they did for the Blazers:

PG: Strickland (will be overtaken by Lillard if he continues but was a great facilitator)
SG: Drexler
SF: Pippen
PF: Wicks
C: Walton

Blazer specific contribution:
PG: Porter (again, likely to be overtaken by Lillard)
SG: Drexler (Roy had a chance to knees took him out)
SF: Kersey
PF: Toughest call (loved Wicks and he was good, Lucas brought a championship, Wallace headcase but very talented, LMA talented but not a headcase) - Of the group and in their prime, I'd take Wicks.
C: Walton

Good list, but I don't see how you expect to start an argument without naming the top player at each position:

Lillard
Drexler
Lucas
Kersey
Walton

G'head, wanna fight about it?

Actually, we should have starter/backup.

PG: Lillard/Porter
SG: Drexler/Roy
SF: Kersey/Pippen
PF: Wicks/Lucas
C: Walton/Sabonis

I know - in my previous post I picked Porter ahead of Lillard but that was due to overall career contribution. If I'm putting a team on the floor right now, I'd put Lillard first and Porter as his backup.

Pippen was way better than Kersey when he played for the Bulls, while still good when he was here, he wasn't that same player and so going on what they did as a Blazer, I'd pick Kersey first. If you are going by what they did overall, you have to go with Pippen.

I think it is more a reference to him drinking the kool-aid that the Blazers are always dishing out - Connaughton is gonna be a game changer! (or such similar ravings that sometimes seem to come out - especially during pre-season.

Good point, but I'm violently disagreeing with Wicks.

Kersey was the hardest playing guy night after night for the Blazers. Defense, speed, rebounding, toughness, I'll take him instead of the Pippen version we got.

And yes, I have a thing for short, fat, syrupy-sweet red guys. If HCP fell asleep in a tanning booth I'd be all over him.

Ranking best athletes in a team sport is like ranking best guitarists or best photographs of sunsets. No 2 are alike and each is impressive in it's own unique ways.

These are the players I would want on my team under any circumstances.

Okay, you got me. Best possible answer without answering, but I get it. Its alot like the Kersey Pippen thing. Which years of which player, or thier whole career, etc?

Fair enough.

You're crazy bitch.

Mo Lucas was a good shooter like Aldridge but was a better rebounder, defender, teammate and was WAY tougher.

Nobody in NBA history was better than Walton at playing center.

I'll let you have the Porter/Lillard toss-up.

Now go shave your shoulders.
