Reflecting on Brandon Roy's career

[High quality poster]

Never said he wasn't good, just his game lacked excitement really, chalk that up to his athleticism, game speed, or just the fact that he was light skin idk

 

[DonRe]

He was suppose to the next Kobe in my eyes in terms of fierceness and finesse entertainment.

Hurts hat injuries killed all that.

Booker scores most of his points off the dribble.Underrated passer.I've been saying he's the Suns best ball distributor.

They gotta force Eric Bledsoe as a "pg", tho

Book kinda has a lil Paul Pierce in him, to

Really I always thought of Booker as a bit of young Ray Allen.

Roy has become very overrated on this board. He was a very good 2nd option. He was never elite.

Shame what injuries did, he was like a guard version of Duncan to me. Very fluid and fundamental without needing much athleticism to be effective. With more time he could've maybe become an even better player.

Curious tho, what made Pierce good? I cnt figure it out. But every year he put up good numbers. Boston was always trash so lets not act like he was great , until the 3 amigos arrived that is.

Only thing i can think of is his awkwardness and size.

dat 50 piece he gave phoenix was a thing of beauty

Hard to say Roy was never elite when he did make in fact make All-NBA. There are only 6 guards given the honor a season, the very definition of "elite."

 

[Rigby.]

IDK how this might get perceived but I think in just term of an aura of gliding on the court (might come off as low-effortness) and honestly just overall similar build/frame types, if Klay wanted to hit his maximum peak as an offensive player, he'd get in the gym with Brandon. Like whatever holes that are in Klay's game (other than consistency and want-to) scoring wise would be chiseled out in like two weeks with Roy.

 

[Lurk Angle]

Roy played with a good Portland team too
I remember people saying they had next but injuries killed them

 

[blalienz]

A healthy B.Roy is a HOF player period
Damn Roy and Oden

Shooting 35% from three & 42% from the field

Booker doesn't even touch the stroke or even the athleticism of a young Ray Allen.
