Joel Przybilla · Most centers build reputations with what they put in the basket, Joel Przybilla built his by cleaning everything around it. On March 22, 2008, at Staples Center, the 7'1" workhorse owned the glass from tip-off, ripping down every missed shot in sight to finish with a career-high 26 rebounds against the Los Angeles Clippers, tying the Portland Trail Blazers' franchise record for a regulation game. Known for his relentless, physical brand of interior dominance, Przybilla averaged 8.4 boards that season while anchoring the defensive identity of a young Portland squad built around Brandon Roy and LaMarcus Aldridge. The ninth overall pick in the 2000 Draft recorded 14 points and 1 block in the 83-72 road victory. · State of Mint
