NBA Player Profile: Brandon Roy

Brandon Roy is one of the fiercest competitors in the NBA today. His leadership is one reason that basketball in Portland has such a bright future. He comes close to averaging over 20 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists. He isn’t the best player in Portland history, but he could possibly end up that way when his career is over.

Strengths: Efficient scorer averaging 22 points on 16 shots per game. Rebounds decent for a shooting guard and has good passing skills. Gets to the free throw line a lot. Leadership ability is one of the best in the NBA.

Weaknesses: Not a great three point shooter. Below average free throw shooter for a guard (78% this season). Hasn’t yet shown the ability to take his team to the next level.

Our Opinions:

James: Brandon Roy is a joy to watch on the basketball court. He plays to win and doesn’t care what his stats end up at as long as they get the victory. I think that he may replace Clyde Drexler in a lot of peoples mind as the fan favorite in Portland.

George: Brandon Roy is a decent player who hasn’t really accomplished anything in the NBA. The other “elite” players have shown that they can take their teams deep into the playoffs no matter how bad the team is around them. As far as I’m concerned, the jury is still out on Roy.
