All things being equal (which they obviously aren't), I would still rank him #4 behind Clyde, BRoy, and (retch!) Walton. Can't stand Walton as a person for what he did to the franchise, but on the court he was close to a unique talent.
I think Dame continues this path he’ll be the best Blazer ever, but thats because I define it by both his action off and on the court. The most talented Blazer ever was Bill Walton, the best career (so far) was Clyde. BRoy’s career was too short and Like clyde he hasnt repped RipCity at all since he left. Dame will end with the best career and likely be the one who represents the city and franchise the best, after his career.
Like I said, "all things being equal." I would argue that BRoy's peak performance level topped Dame - but you are right about his career being cut too short.
what criteria are you using. He's actually 34th but a bunch of those players. If you set like 50 games to qualify then Dave Twardzik James Jones Greg Oden Ed Davis Kiki Vandeweghe Robin Lopez Calvin Natt Joel Przybilla Buck Williams J.J. Hickson Steve Smith & Kermit Washington were better it's pretty interesting to look at these rankings; TS%: http://bkref.com/tiny/3p3P4 and PER: http://bkref.com/tiny/JFJu9 and FT Rate: http://bkref.com/tiny/3L1el and total rebound rate: http://bkref.com/tiny/mwdk4 steal rate: http://bkref.com/tiny/GMSbB block rate: http://bkref.com/tiny/05Hd9 winshares/48: http://bkref.com/tiny/TlWKW box plus/minus: http://bkref.com/tiny/gUob1
