A real attempt at making the All-Time Portland Trail Blazers team

Sidney Wicks

Portland Tenure

• 1971-1976
• 22-10-4 on 46 field goal percent and 71 free throw percent

Peak PDX Season
1975: 22-11-4 on 50 field goal percent and 71 free throw percent

Sidney Wicks did not have the longest stint with the Blazers, but it was very productive while he was there. It came not long after the Blazers were introduced to the NBA.

They were not very successful back then but Wicks was a monster inside. He was taken second overall in the 1971 draft and won Rookie of the Year.

Boasting a strong interior game, he was able to outwork any opponent that got in his way. Whether it was scrapping for rebounds, chasing putbacks or simply running the floor.

Wicks is another strong presence off the bench with the likes of Lucas.

Geoff Petrie

Portland Tenure

• 1970-1976
• 22-3-5 on 46 field goal percent and 81 free throw percent

Peak PDX Season
1974: 24-3-4 on 48 field goal percent and 85 free throw percent

The very first Trail Blazer in their history was the one and only Geoff Petrie. The purebred sharpshooter from Princeton was an outstanding player but had his career cut short due to a knee injury.

While he was on the court, he was a silky guard who’d score in a variety of different ways. But, he was best known for his aforementioned shooting ability.

He was one of the league’s first marksman. He could light it up from almost anywhere.

It was always a shame that Petrie wasn’t able to play longer and with a prime Walton. That 1-5 combo would have been something special.

At least Petrie and Walton can (hypothetically) share the court on this team.

Although Petrie has to fight Lillard, Porter and Roy for the backcourt minutes, it is a luxury that Blazer fans will be more than happy to have.
