IMO - it’s gotta be Buck Williams. Those glasses? The rebounding? The fact he was rapping on ‘Bust a Bucket’, ’nuff said. Buck it is.

Petrie is forgotten but Sidney Wicks didn’t even make this list!
Yeah he wasn’t a team player and it is mostly about numbers but since Z-Bo is up there . . . Sidney Wicks deserves to at least be on the list. Sid made the All-Star team four times during his five seasons with the team. I believe only Clyde was an All-Star more often as a Blazer.

In my opinion it is Petrie…It seems sometimes he is the forgotten Blazer. The guy could stroke it from anywhere…played above average defense, and was a damn good passer. I am a big fan of the sixth man being a gunner, and with the criteria of best of the rest Petrie is the one.

Nobody on that list could hold a candle to the talent that Arvydas Sabonis possessed. Now, having said that, I think I’d still go with Geoff Petrie… but if it was restricted to actual 6th men, Cliffy would run away with it.

If ain’t broke don’t fix it. For many wonderful years Cliff Robinson provided some of the best 6th man services the NBA could ask for. Although there is no doubt that some of the players mentioned about are better Robinson will always be the ultimate Blazer 6th man. Uncle Cliffy is who I want coming off the bench for this all time Blazers team….lets just hope they don’t make it to the playoffs.

I think you can basically make this choice by looking at the jerseys hanging in the rafters at the Rose Garden. You can forget Larry Steele because his numbers just aren’t up there with some of the others. In my mind, Petrie definitely takes this. I love Sabas and Buck, but you’ve got to consider Petrie’s time with the Blazers, both as a player and in management. It’s too bad that he didn’t stick with the team longer (and a big part of why Adelman left…), but the guy is Portland, through and through.
