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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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?

    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!
