Best Blazers at every position; All-Time!

[Harry's Raincoat]

Fun to think about these guys.

Orion.....Yes, ranked for their Blazers playing days, not entire career.

Petro didn't play super until he left us for NJ. Walton in 1977-78 was best player on the planet, and much better than any season Sabonis played for us.
Kersey was a SMALL FORWARD and better than any season by any other SF in a Blazers uni. Even, Pippen '00.

I'd add Joel Przybilla to that list. But I'm a soft-hearted sucker.

Although I share your sentiment for Joel, his stats just don't measure up to Owens or Thompson. They didn't keep track of Picks Set!

You're right about this...it was a sentimental throw in for me. I need to watch some old film and make better comparisons from the 70s and 80s rosters as they've become blurry over time. As soon as I compiled a list, I thought about players I've left out. Brian Grant was a personal favorite as well as Danny Ainge..the guys I need to go back and revisit are the Lenny Wilkins, J Johnsons, etc...great thread HR!

<kingspeed> We are so much better than last year, and the year before, and before, and even before that. Our best starting lineup of all time:

PG- Lillard
SG- CJ
SF- Aminu
PF- toss up between Vonleh and Myers
C- Plumlee

Learn the game and then post. We are going to destroy the warriors. We are their worst nightmare. We are like those dreams where your teeth are falling out, you are naked in school, you are falling off a cliff, and your dick falls off all rolled into one.

Ps. Just joking king. We love you!

Sabonis > Walton
Aldridge > Williams > Lucas
Porter > Lillard

Walton was NBA MVP in '78. He ruled! Led league in rebounding and blocks.
I luv Sabonis, but we got the old version in his mid-30's. He was decent, but not better than '78 Walton!

I had trouble between Aldridge and Lucas. Stats very similar. Fair to argue that its a toss-up. But, Wicks' stats rule. He was a Monster. He's #1 PF.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Lamarcus Aldridge is the worst blazer of all time.

I don't think Sidney Wicks should be in the conversation for best anything, unless the category is Best Team Cancer.

Okay, got it. If thats the case, I go with Wizards list below. Porter was never lights out like Dame and Dame is seriously improving his assists. I think he has already had a better career with the Blazers than Porter has (without checking stats) and the only thing Terry really has is a couple of Finals appearances. As much of a troublemaker Rasheed was, he had a knack of getting under opponents skin as much as the refs. That is a part of the game too. I think he was an unwanting, unspoken leader and the exact type of leader that jail blazers team needed. To me for him, it wasn't just about offensive stats, it was about the impact and his defense.

Lillard
Drexler
Kersey
Wallace
Walton

I officially approve this list!

Ha!

I like how everyone is leaving Damon Stoudamire off the list.

Well, he didn't leave his weed at home, so we left him off the list.

Karma!
