Which former Blazer(s) is the most forgotten?

[PtldPlatypus]

Holy crap, Ennis Whatley did two tours of duty with the Blazers?!

You're fascinated by that player list, aren't you?

 

[BlazerCaravan]

You're fascinated by that player list, aren't you?

I love trivia, and nothing is more trivial than the list of totally minor Blazers.

Brian Shaw was a Blazer for 5 minutes?

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

Blazer fans don't forget their good players.

Brian Shaw was a Blazer for 5 minutes?

I saw that and thought the same thing. That was 1999...I should remember that.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

I forget his name...but he was really good

Dontonio Wingfield.

Basketball reference lists 303 players who have played at least one minute for the Blazers. Reviewing this, I'm guessing that Bill Stricker and his 2 minutes played in 1971 might be the most forgotten Blazer.

Yes, Bill Stricker. My favorite player ever. I've got his jersey, basketball cards, his shoes, a lock of his hair, pictures of his girlfriend topless, and a coke he drank half of.

And I'm guessing he has a restraining order?

Channing Frye

For such an insignificant player for the Blazers, we'll all remember Ruben Boumtje-Boumtje for one thing (well, two including his awesome name).

 

[MARIS61]

My favorite Blazers player who wasn't around long enough to be remembered was Nikita Wilson from the 87-88 season.

Seemed like a nice guy, and he had a cool sounding name.

 

[HailBlazers]

Darius Miles

Or is that because we chose to forget?

 

[barfo]

And I'm guessing he has a restraining order?

And I have a signed copy hanging in my living room!

Joe Wolf.

Also, who the hell is Robert Pack?

Joe Wolf.

Also, who the hell is Robert Pack?

Joe Wolf was an undercover comeback attempt by Wally Walker. Robert Pack may have been Shaler Halimon, but this is considered uncertain.

Steve Francis

 

[Pinwheel1]

We had two Rookie of the Year winners in a row. #2 is not remembered enough:

"Wicks played for the Trail Blazers from 1971 to 1976, earning a total of four selections as an All-Star (1972–1975) and averaging over 20 points per game each of his first four seasons. He holds the Blazer's franchise record for rebounds in a game with 27, and averaged 22.3 points per game and 10.3 rebounds a game in his five years with the team."

Walt the wizard Williams. I used to do the long knee high socks look because of him. Was one of the key pieces along with Kelvin Cato who brought us Pippen.

In a more serious note, I vote Jermaine. I think he coulda carried us past the Sheed/Bonzi era and helped us avoid the Juan Dixon/ Telfair years. Sigh.

You don't know Pack-man? I shun thee.

 

[crandc]

Restricted to good players? Not the Nate Johnston/Reggie Smith types who played in garbage time for a year? Not duds like Sasha Djeordjevic (probably not spelling correctly)?

What about the Dannys, Young and Ainge? Have they gotten a mention?

 

[BBert]

Bernie Fryer!

(Thanks, PtldPlaty)

I think that is who I was thinking about when I said Marbury.

Joe Wolf.

Joe Wolf is good but i got this going away with
Sean Marks!
How about Mark Sibley?
How about Ennis Whatley? Not just once... twice!
I promise this guy will in the running very soon..Hasheem Thabeet.
Probably should give a nod to Jeff Pendergraph beings he is now Ayers.
Then this guy ran for office and we still don't remember him. Chris Dudley.
You don't remember this guy cause you can't say his name...Aleksandar Đorđević!

It was Craig Odom, you nitwit.
