Most Underrated Blazer Of All Time

[Rastapopoulos]

Buck was the 3rd pick in the draft, not 1st.

You are correct! I wonder where I picked up that idea, because I've had it for a while...

Also, I think you could argue that he was underrated and overrated at the same time.

Only if either
(a) you're talking about different groups of people or
(b) the words mean nothing.

He was a great addition to the team in 89, arguably the final piece of the puzzle. Loved him, was my 2nd favorite player at the time (TP was, and is, my favorite former Trail Blazer). He's one of the better PF's to play for the team, but if you look at his stats you realize he wasn't as productive as we remember, nor was his defense as good as we remember.

And yes, I'm talking about two different groups who overrate him and underrate him. Some think he was awesome, and some think he was a serviceable PF at the time.
