As most of you have probably seen by now, ESPN has slowly been releasing their annual #NBArank 2015. Starting at 400, they rank every player in the league, basing their rank on everything: ability, past performance, age, and the list goes on. So far, every player on the Trail Blazers has been named except Lillard, who at the very least will be in the Top 50. The highest ranked player after Lillard? Mason Plumlee at 128. Woof.
Though the rankings are by no means perfect, it does show the monumental task facing Terry Stotts and the Portland franchise as the collection of new players isn’t the greatest of all-time by any means.
