Ask someone to name their favorite Portland Trail Blazers players and you’re going to get large doses of Damian Lillard, Clyde Drexler, and—if the respondent is of a certain generation—Bill Walton. Rehearsing their accomplishments is hardly necessary. They’re written, sometimes literally, all over the Moda Center walls.
In a brief, end-of-summer series, we’re going to talk about some of the Blazers who might have slipped through the cracks of our memories. We’re looking at significant, talented players who, for whatever reason, didn’t achieve the notoriety and success of the franchise superstars. Settle back over the next few weeks and enjoy the trip down memory lane!
