Brandon Roy - The Natural

Brandon Roy was selected 6th overall in the 2006 NBA Draft by the Minnesota Timberwolves, but his draft rights were then traded to the Portland Trail Blazers in exchange for the draft rights to 7th overall pick Randy Foye.

Roy is an All-Star caliber shooting guard more because of how little he can't do than what he can do extremely well. He is a strong defender, ball-handler, passer, scorer, shooter and play-maker. While he doesn't blow by many defenders, he finds ways to get open for his shots because he is such a crafty player. He does everything well without doing anything exceptionally. As a result, he doesn't lean on any particular skill and is a very self-aware player who knows not to play outside of his game. He is a tremendous teammate and has shown great leadership already in his career

Brandon Roy is the Image Why People Should Stay In College All 4 Years He Had A Chance To Go Straight Out Of High School But He Went To College And Developed Into A Great Player And In A Few More Years Will Probably Become The Best In The League

I wholeheartedly agree. This coming from a Hornets fan, I truly admire B-Roy. He is an awesome athlete in mind and body. Sure he could have jumped into the NBA early but he chose studies and a degree over instant fame and fortune and that's truly important.

Sure athletes can make a lot of money but having a degree helps you keep it over the future, which is why it's important to use a scholarship to the fullest. I can only wish there are more people like him.

It's a damn shame that he retire. I thought he had and bright future. (This is coming from a laker fan.)

good thing the blazers traded randy foye for b-roy

[amateurUSsportvideos]

why did t-wolves trade him ):(

@alvinjason10 takes less shots that wade, kobe and rose too. he has the ability to score 30ppg but he is a very coachable player and sticks to nate mcmillan's game plan. This player is every coach's dream. too bad for those knees though... all-time great

[alvinjason10]

yo veoshock. his knees are a shame. he's the no.2 shooting guard in the league behind kobe. this guy's a smooth smooth man very very tough to guard, has a very very high Baller IQ and has that killer instinct to boot. such a shame wouldve been the number 1 SG in the league... kobe even says that roy is the hardest to guard in john thompson's interview. and in the an all-star game says that "he is way ahead of his time"he aint that fast and athletic like wade or rose, but he is crafty takes far l
