    A fair number of ex-Blazers are having decent seasons. Among surprising starters are Sergio in Philly (leading them in minutes!) and Luke Babbitt in Miami. Probably having the best season so far is PATTY MILLS, who is a ridiculous +74 over 90 minutes so far! (In contrast, Steph Curry is -3 in 102 mins.) Patty's reviled teammate isn't doing so bad either, averaging 18 and 8 in only 30 mpg. He should be fresh for the playoffs. My fave choice as slightly-obscure ex-Blazer is probably Dante Cunningham, who has carved out a nice little career after we dumped him, and is the only New Orleans player to have a positive +/- over the season so far.

    I'm happy Wes is having a better season...he looks like he's getting back to his old self again...had 25 pts the other night and he's defending like a beast at times

    Rolo is a good fit with the Bulls....I think that'll work out for both sides

    Wes is shooting 29% from field and 18% from 3. How is Tim Frazier not mentioned in this thread yet?

    I saw his last game only, but saw a lot last year....he looked like his old self.....CJ isn't shooting a high percentage either.....CJ's definitely a better shooter than Wes but Wes is the better defender by a long shot

    Frazier has done ok....Batum has done better and Gerald Henderson is pretty much the same guy he was. Phil Pressy hasn't really made much impact

    8 years after we let him go, James Jones is in his 14th season. He was an unbelievable catch-and-shoot artist for us. His stats don't do him justice. Too bad he's injured almost half the time.

    HOW COULD I FORGET WILL THE THRILL!?

    And in distinctly lesser news, Aaron Afflalo is playing for the Kings.

    That's a lot of starters!

    Jarrett Jack nor Jared Bayless are healthy yet but I think both will play..Bayless with Hendo in Philly and I think Jack is in Atlanta?

    Josh McRoberts is injured but still in the league. I still can't believe he left Charlotte, his only team where the coach thought he was more than a scrub.

    We have this thread every year. What's unusual this time is that there are 3 teams with at least 2 ex-Blazers. Usually there aren't any.
