Brandon Roy

Bio

No one likes being overlooked. For most, it happens because they haven't done enough to be seen. Which makes it all the more baffling that Brandon Roy is often counted amongst those who are overlooked. Because every time he steps on the court, he does something spectacular that grabs everyone's attention. And he has the Rookie of the Year hardware to prove it. He shoots as well as any small guard, can pass like a point and rebounds like a small forward. So he's not really under the radar. There's just no radar that can measure him up.

Analysis

And he hasn't disappointed while coming off the bench for a young and talented Blazers squad. His performance on the court as a scorer and initiator has helped take some of the scoring burden off of Brandon Roy. And his defensive tenacity has added grit to a young team scrapping for a playoff birth. Although his 3-point range and electrifying dunks have given color to his rookie season, it's been the heavy responsibility he's undertaken that has the real weight.
