    There's a lot of talent on this team and I want to see where everybody ranks the individual Blazers. It can be your own rankings based on whatever's important to you.

    Here's mine, and it's by no means definitive. My list is focused on the long-term, Championship potential of the team and my view of that players impact. I could see several players moving up and down. 1 and 2 are a lock though.

    1) Oden
    2) Roy
    3) Batum
    4) Outlaw
    5) Bayless
    6) Rudy
    7) LMA
    8) Blake
    9) Pryzbilla
    10) Kopenen
    11) Webster

    5) Bayless- Psycho PG

    7) Pryz- best back C in the game

    Right now I'm not much interested in Blazers of "tomorrowland," that kind of speculation is best reserved for the off-season (IMO).

    here's where I put them now in terms of "on court impact":
    1) Roy
    2) LMA
    3) Przybilla
    4) Blake
    5) Outlaw
    6) Jerryd
    7) Oden
    8) Rudy
    10) Batum
    11) Sergio

    Webster doesn't rate because he's not playing and who knows when he'll be back, Ike, Channing, and Shav are all irrelavant and Raef is nothing but $$$$ to me (hmmm, maybe I should have RLEC rated somewhere?)

    I am actually. I just don't think he intends to stay and I've been very disappointed by his production and consistency this season. He hasn't improved like I thought he should have.

    11) Rodriguez
    12) RLEC
    13) Diogu
    14) Frye

    I ranked them in inverse order of trade preference. That seemed like the best way to combine current and future value.

    I think Batum is going to be huge for this team. When we are making our runs he's going to be our Bruce Bowen/Raja Bell.
