Write it down now - whoever gets Brandon Roy gets the steal of the draft
This kid is going to be special. Mark me down for leading the charge to draft this guy at #4. He wreaks havoc on the defensive end, he can shoot, he can drive, he can pass. He plays with heart. He strikes me as the epitome of a "Nate guy" and I hope the organization is paying close attention.
I mean, look at his stats from his senior year:
20 ppg
51% FG
41% 3 pt.
81% FT
4.1 apg
5.6 rpg
0.8 bpg
1.4 spg
Not to mention how he played in the tournament. This is a big-game performer. And I'd hate to see him go somewhere else and flourish, knowing we passed on him.
But that's just one man's opinion.

Re: Write it down now - whoever gets Brandon Roy gets the steal of the draft
Can the moderators merge this thread with the other numerous Roy threads?

The steal of the draft? Does that mean you'd take him with the No. 1 pick?

Re: Write it down now - whoever gets Brandon Roy gets the steal of the draft
Steal of the draft? That is usually designated for someone that isn't expected to be drafted top 6.
This whole "Nate guy" thing is pissing me off as well. Why is it we want "Nate guy's" anyway. What exactly has Nate done to warrant any kind of trust in the players he likes. He continued to start Dixon over Martell most of the year. Darius over evetyone else, Started the season with Charles Smith in the starting line-up, and now want's to draft a 6'5" shooting guard that doesn't have a consistant outside shot. Isn't that Derek Anderson in a nutshell? YUCK!!!!!!!!!!!

Roy is the steal of this draft if he is drafted after pick 9, imo.

Re: Write it down now - whoever gets Brandon Roy gets the steal of the draft
If by "steal of the draft" you mean a mediocre undersized player (6'5" only 195) with no star potential that will stunt Websters growth, then I guess you are right. Man I am glad you arn't the gm. Roy is the wort possible pick! By far!

What do you mean he does not have a consistant outside shot. Derek never came close to being the shooter that Roy is. He might not be blazing hot from the outside but I would say he is very good and very consistant. I watched him a lot last year and he came to play every game and performed well most every time out. This guy is the epitome of consistancy.

Re: Write it down now - whoever gets Brandon Roy gets the steal of the draft
Maybe someone will answer me in this thread...
What can Brandon Roy do, that Rudy Gay can't?

Exactly! Roy didn't put up good numbers til his senior season, and Rudy is only a soph. Gay is 4 inches taller, 2 years younger, a much better athlete, a much better defender (1.8stls, 1.6blcks in 30 min), and a better shooter. It's not like we are going to make the playoffs next year. You have to be a real moron to take Roy over gay!

I think Gay will be rookie of the year, hopefully on the Blazers.

Re: Write it down now - whoever gets Brandon Roy gets the steal of the draft
I would rather have Gay then Roy but I think that to discount Roy is missing out on something. As to answer the question of what Roy can do that Gay can not, I think the answer is Leadership. I think that Gay may end up with with better stats but I think that Roy is the kind of guy to help guide a team and lead the group to victory. He is also a big moment player much more so then Gay. When the game is on the line Roy seems to step up but Gay often fades away.

Re: Write it down now - whoever gets Brandon Roy gets the steal of the draft
meh....
When Gay and Roy went head to head briefly....Gay destroyed Roy....
Morrison lit him and B.Jones for 43pts...
Roy's statline for that game? He fouled out with 10pts and 5 TO...UW won that game, but it wasn't b\c of Roy...

No Roy is often sitting on the bench with 4 or 5 fouls...Just like he did against UCONN and just like he did against Gonzaga...
Lucky for him he has some really talented teamates and a very good coach to back him up...

I'm not sure Gay can't be a leader in the future. Roy was just a role player his sophomore year on a Husky team that got bounced in the first round. Who's to say Gay wouldn't be a leader two years down the road had he stayed at UConn?
