We were spoiled by the Weinbergs and Paul Allen. Mr. Dundon is not making many friends here at Rip City. At 2.3 billion he is on the low end of owners. #RipCity rules.

There have been 5 players selected by Portland with the 33rd pick, and three playing for the Blazers.

#RipCity

Bruce Collins, the leading scorer in Weber State history at the time, was the Blazers third player selected in the 1980 NBA Draft. The 6’-5” guard scored 2,019 points for the Wildcats, becoming the first Wildcat player to top the 2,000 point mark. Collins played on the Blazers summer league, and in seven preseason games before being released. Collins credited the Portland franchise for helping him connect and play with teams in China and The Philippines for the next three years. Before hanging up his playing career, Collins was a member of a US Squad that played other teams in preparation of the 1984 Summer Olympics.The first player from James Madison Univ. to play in the NBA, Linton Townes was the Blazers second round selection in the 1982 Draft. The 6’-7” small forward played the backup role, averaging 4.5 points and 1.2 rebounds in 55 games. Townes was traded to the Cavaliers prior to his second campaign with the Blazers. Cleveland waived Townes prior to the season commenced, but he spent time with Milwaukee, Los Angeles Clippers and the San Antonio Spurs before playing in the CBA. Townes was a member of the Tampa Bay Thrillers CBA Championship team before playing in Europe and Israel before retiring in 1999.Drafted as a backup to Darnell Valentine in the 1984 NBA Draft, Steve Colter proved a valuable backup and starter when needed. The 6’-3” guard from New Mexico State, Colter played 159 games in two seasons with the Blazers, averaging 8 points and 3.1 assists. With the emergence of Terry Porter, Colter was traded to the Chicago Bulls in 1986. Colter spent a total of 8 years in the NBASelected in the 2008 NBA Draft, Joey Dorsey of Memphis was traded to the Houston Rockets for Nicolas Batum. The 6’-8” played 61 NBA games between 2008 to 2011 before spending three years in Europe. Dorsey returned to the Rockets, playing 69 games during the 2014/15 season before heading back to Europe, playing until 2021.

After being drafted in the 2009 NBA Draft, Dante Cunningham averaged 18 points and 5 rebounds for the Blazers summer league team, earning a spot on the regular season roster. The 6’-8” forward played 63 games his rookie season, scoring 4 points and grabbing 2.5 rebounds in 11 minutes of action. Cunningham was part of trade halfway through his second season that netted the Blazers Gerald Wallace. Cunningham played 10 years in the NBA before playing another 5 years overseas.

There are 34 days remaining before the Blazers open the 2026/27 season. This year, Draft Positions is the order of the countdown.

There have been 3 player selected by Portland with the 34th pick, with two playing for Portland and the third earning a Championship ring this past spring.

#RipCity

As a 6’ rookie guard from Miami of Ohio, Phil Lumpkin served as the backup to 9-time All-Star Lenny Wilkens. Selected in the 1974 draft, Lumpkin played 48 games in Portland, averaging 4.2 points and 3.7 assists. During an eight-game stretch as a starter, with Wilkens out, Lumpkin averaged 9.1 points and 8.3 assists, including two games in which he passed for a career-high 10 assists. After Portland selected Lionel Hollins in the 1975 draft, Lumpkin was traded to the Phoenix Suns, playing backup to Paul Westphal. Lumpkin would play in 17 of the 19 playoff games as the Suns lost in the 1976 NBA Finals. Lumpkin was waived after his year in Phoenix.

In 1991 Lumpkin became the head coach of O'Dea High School in Seattle. Between 1993 and 2007, the team advanced to seven state finals and won five Class 3A state titles (1993, 97, 2004, 05, and 08. Lumpkin passed away in 2009 at the age of 57 from pneumonia.
Prior to the 2010 NBA Draft, the Blazer scouts referred Armon Johnson to as a “Nate McMillan point guard” based on his 6’-5” stature and his defensive intensity. The moniker seemed well earned during the summer league as Johnson averaged 11 points and 4.2 assists, as well as his early play in his rookie season. 

Johnson hit double-figure scoring in three of his first eight games, but soon Johnson was bouncing between the NBA and the Idaho Stampede of the Development League. Johnson played a single game in his second season before being waived by the Blazers. Johnson played 8 games for the New Jersey Nets after his release, before playing with various European teams before retiring in 2017.In the 2024 NBA Draft, the Blazers selected Tyler Kolek of Marquette, immediately trading the 6’-2” guard to the New York Knicks. Kolek has played 103 games with the Knicks since, earning a Championship ring this past season.

September 15, 1970 - A total of 17 players will attend the Blazers inaugural training camp today in Forest Grove, OR.

#RipCity #ThisDateinBlazersHistory

The camp, which will last eight days, features seven rookie players and a rookie coach in Rolland Todd. The rookies include the first pick in team history, Geoff Petrie, as well as four others selected by Portland in the March college draft. Among the veterans attending expected to lead the team are Jim Barnett, Leroy Ellis, Rick Adelman, Gary Gregor, Ed Manning, Dorie Murrey, Pat Riley, and Dale Schlueter.

While a rookie NBA coach, Todd is familiar with professional basketball, having played in the National Industrial Basketball League in 1959 and 1960, as well as with the American Basketball League from 1961 to 1963, before moving into coaching. He spent the last five seasons at UNLV, compiling a 96-40 record for the The Runnin' Rebels before being hired by the Blazers.

One other rookie in camp is Tim Robinson, who had been banned from the NBA from a college betting scandal in 1961. Robinson recently won a court battle to clear his name, and selected the Blazers to be the team he would try out with.  Photo, no descriptionPhoto, no description

There are 35 days remaining before the Blazers open the 2026/27 season. This year, Draft Positions is the order of the countdown.

There has been only one player selected by Portland with the 35th pick, and he was traded on draft day, never to wear a Portland uniform.

#RipCity

The last under age player ever selected by an NBA team, Ricky Sanchez of Puerto Rico is the only Blazers player selected in the 35th draft position. Drafted just 8 days before his 18th birthday in 2005, the 6’-11” center was immediately traded to the Denver Nuggets for Jarrett Jack. Sanchez has been playing professionally in Puerto Rico since he was 14, and has been on two Title winning teams.

Interestingly, besides the trade to Denver in 2005, Sanchez was traded in 2007 to the Philadelphia 76ers. In 2012, the Sixers traded his rights to the Memphis Grizzlies, who traded him a year later to the Miami Heat. The trade from Philadelphia prompted a Sixers centric podcast titled, "Rights to Ricky Sanchez", or "The Ricky". The podcast still going strong and deserves a listen.Photo, no description
