<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> The Portland Trail Blazers haven?t had a representative at All-Star Weekend for what seems like a million years, but this year it?s not a question of if; it?s how many? Zach Randolph is playing the best ball of his career at power forward and his numbers match up favorably with most of the Western Conference?s other star fours ? players like Elton Brand, Carlos Boozer, Kevin Garnett, and Dirk Nowitzki. Portland has five candidates for the Rookie-Sophomore Challenge: rookies Brandon Roy, LaMarcus Aldridge, and Sergio Rodriguez, along with second-year starter Jarrett Jack and reserve Martell Webster. Will any of them get the call to Vegas? On the surface is seems like some of the decisions are no-brainers, but let?s examine each one a little closer.</div> Source
