"I lost all three balls," said LaRue Martin, who lost one ball in a yard guarded by a German Shepard. "He looked at me and I looked at him, so I figured I better about face." The Blazers new coach, Jack McCloskey, arranged for all 15 players to spend time on the Mt. Hood Golf Course in Gresham, with 11 players participating. As well, some members of the Blazers front office played, as did assistant coach Neil Johnston, and radio play-by-play Bill Schonely, who exclaimed, "I broke 100."Photo, no description

While the 1974 NBA Draft is remembered by most Blazer fans as the Bill Walton draft, what most don’t remember is the selection of 6’-3” guard Rubin Collins, from the Univ. of Maryland Eastern Shore. Collins, who elected to forego his senior year with the Hawks, became the first “hardship” draft choice by Portland. Collins attended the rookie camp but was released prior to the exhibition games.The Blazers brass were elated when Clifford Robinson of Connecticut was available in the second round of the 1989 NBA Draft. Robinson proved his worth, playing eight seasons in Portland, and 18 total in the NBA. The 6’-10” forward played 644 games in a Blazers uniform, grabbed 3,352 rebounds, scored 10,405 points, and played 19,839 minutes. Affectionally known as Uncle Cliffy to Blazer fans, Robinson retired in 2007, having played 1,380 games, which at the time was the seventh most in NBA History.In 2008, the Blazers selected Ömer Aşık of Turkey, sending the 7’ center to the Chicago Bulls, receiving draft selections in return. Aşık returned to Turkey for two seasons before making his NBA debut with the Bulls in 2010. Aşık, who played 8 years in the NBA, also played with the Rockets and the Pelicans.Portland selected the three-year veteran Italian player Gabriele Procida in the 2022 NBA Draft, and included the 6’-7” forward in a trade two weeks later that netted the Blazers Jerami Grant. Procida has continued to play in European leagues, and is currently playing with Real Madrid.

In the 1971 NBA Draft, the Blazers selected a skinny 6’-5” kid from the Univ. of Kentucky named Larry Steele. One of five rookies to make the roster in 1971, Steele solidified his position with four head coaches over the next 9 years, swinging between both guard positions and small forward, with his hustle and defense. When injuries finally removed Steele from the roster in 1980, he had played a then franchise record 610 games; held the franchise record with 1,020 steals; ranked second in assists with 1,719; was third in minutes played with 14,777; and third in points with 5,009. In 1974, Steele became the first Portland player to lead the NBA in a statistical category when he was credited with 217 steals and a 2.7 average. Steele continued to rank in the Top-10 the next two seasons. In 1981, the Blazers retired the number 15 in his honor.The Blazers second player selected in the 1982 NBA draft, Audie Norris entered Blazers lore when he hit the playoff series winning shot against the Dallas Mavericks in 1985. The 6’-9” forward from Jackson State became a fan favorite for his ever present smile and aggressive play, Norris became known as by the nickname Mychal Thompson bestowed on him, “The Atomic Dog.” Norris played three seasons in Portland before heading to Italy for two years, playing for Benetton Treviso, earning an All-Star position in 1986. Norris then signed with FC Barcelona, playing with them from 1987 to 1993. Norris earned two more All-Star awards (1988 and 1990) and helped Barca win the Spanish League Titles in 1988, 1989, and 1990, as well as two Spanish King’s Titles in 1988 and 1990.While most Blazer fans know that Arvydas Sabonis and Drazen Petrovic were selected in the 1986 NBA Draft, most forget the other foreign player selected that year. Portland selected 7’ center, Pangagiotis Fasoulas from Greece and NC State in between the more famous players. Fasoulas arrived in Portland for the summer Rookie camp, but decided to return to Europe, earning FIBA Hall of Fame status, after playing for 18 years in his home country. He helped PAOK Thessaloniki and Olympiacos B.C. to multiple Greek League Titles and one Euro-League Title in 1997. Fasoulas is a member of the FIBA Hall of Fame.Selected by the Blazers in the 2007 NBA Draft, Josh McRoberts played two seasons with the Duke Blue Devils before declaring for the draft. The 6’-10” center spent most of his rookie season playing for the Idaho Stampede of the G-League, but did appear in eight games with Portland. McRoberts was traded to the Indiana Pacers in 2008. He played in 433 games over 11 years in the NBA with seven different teams.

September 12, 1980 - The Blazers opened their 11th annual training camp with the annual Jack Ramsay two-mile run, their top draft pick absent, and the last three players from the 1977 Title team sidelined.

#RipCity #ThisDateinBlazersHistory

Bob Gross, Dave Twardzik, and Larry Steele are all missing the start of camp with similar, and over-lapping injuries. Steele is headed to Indiana to have a specialist look over his knees. While Gross is also having knee issues, he more importantly is recovering from back surgery during the summer. Twardzik is continuing to have back issues as well. The 14 players in camp ran the annual two-mile run, attempting to beat the 13 minute, withJim Paxson posting a time of 11:06. The players that finished beyond the 13 minute mark have the option to run again or pay a fine for every second over the limit. Kelvin Ransey, the fourth overall pick in the 1980 NBA Draft, is holding out. The point guard from Ohio State is reportedly looking for a long-term deal, but talks have just started. Also returning to the camp is radio voice Bill Schonely, who suffered a heart attack during a round of golf this past summer. Schonely credits Twardzik for saving his life.

Waiters played two seasons with the Pacers, one with Houston, before two more with the Bulls before his NBA career ended in 1988. Waiters played two seasons in Spain before returning home, and began his many entrepreneurial endeavors. In his post career, Waiters opened childcare centers, provided financial planning services, and became involved in community organizing.
