Select Your Blazers 80s Decade Team

[42N8Bounce]

It's time to vote for your all-Blazers 80s decade team.



Here's my selections:

Mychal Thompson (top 10 career Blazer in pts, rbs, blks, stl, and ast)
Calvin Natt (5 seasons, 17.2 ppg, 6.9 rpg, 17.7 PER)
Kiki Vandeweghe (5 seasons, 18.9 PER, second highest Blazer ppg ave 23.5)
Jim Paxson (9 seasons, 2 all-star appearances, 1 2nd-team NBA selection)
Billy Ray Bates (Dunk!)

Just missed the cut:
Kermit Washington (all-star)
Steve Johnson (all-star)
Darnell Valentine (He played 5 seasons, and Bates only played 3. But Bates was the fun one to watch.)

 

[wizenheimer]

what? is there a minimum number of seasons?

if there's not:

Terry Porter
Clyde Drexler
Kiki Vandeweghe
Buck Williams
Mychal Thompson

Mine was the same but substitute Wayne Cooper for Natt.

My guess is that they're only putting a player into one decade. They must be putting Porter, Drexler, Williams into the 90s Decade.

ok....might be the case

where it breaks down is that Clyde spent 11 seasons with the Blazers and 7 of those were in the 80's. Porter was here for 10 years and 5 were in the 80's. Meanwhile, guys you can "vote" on and the years they spent as a Blazer in the 80's:

Ron Brewer - 2.5 years
Steve Colter - 2 years
Fat Lever - 2 years
Kelvin Ransey - 2 years

I guess I'm a square peg in a round hole world. Might be they didn't want Clyde in there because he'd be a near-unanimous choice and bollix the contest

My Picks:

Mychal Thompson
Kenny Carr
Kiki Vanderwege
Darnell Valentine
Jim Paxson

My guess too

Alternative: select the best team made up of former Blazers who are now in their 80s.

Easy there are only 2. Well, one of them would be 81 but he passed away 2 years ago.

Darrall Imhoff would be 81
Lenny Wilkens is 82

I guess then start Lenny and have Imhoff on the bench.
