Clyde was a swing player, SG / SF, not a PG. Clyde is a HoFer, so let's not compare. Dame is the best PG in club history. Period. That said, who are the others? Twardzik? Porter? Strickland? Lever? Hollins was a 2 most of the time as was Geoff Petrie.

No disrespect to Clyde intended. I was there for his glory years with PDX and give him all the props he is due. Twardzik, Porter, Strickland, Lever and Lionel were very good players on very good teams but (IMO) their individual talent was not on the level of Dame or Clyde the Glyde.

Oh if only his knees hadnтАЩt done him in. He was truly The Natural тЭдя╕П one of my favorites.

Here is another thing on Roy: the Wolves had the rights to him with their draft pick. But Kevin McHale somehow coveted Randy Foye. He agreed to trade the rights for Roy to Portland so he could take Foye. Stupid trade! Roy turned out to be an all-star and Foye, a nothing. https://www.espn.com/blog/truehoop/post/_/id/1953/a-gift-from-minnesota-how-brandon-roy-got-to-portland The Wolves did the same stupid thing a couple years later with Portland-area GM David Kahn (a total flop as GM) with the #5 and #6 pick, two non-shooting PGs, and they passed over Steph Curry for Ricky Rubio and Jonny Flynn (a nobody). DUMB!!! BTW... Jrue Holiday went #17 in that draft.

Good, not great (not in Lillard's league). But yes, I should have had him on my list.

I loved Dave Twardzik's afro perm so much I tried it myself. Didn't work.
