Brandon Roy.

Professional Career.

Brandon Roy is the Starting Shooting Guard for the Portland Trail Blazers. As of early 2008, he is the co-captain of the team (along with LaMarcus Aldridge), and wears number 7. Roy was selected sixth in the 2006 NBA Draft. He made an immediate impact on the Trail Blazers, helping to lead the young team out of mediocrity. Zach Randolph, then the team captain, was traded to the New York Knicks at the end of Roy's first season, which cleared the way for Roy to take on a leadership role on the young team. Though suffering from an injured ankle, Roy won the NBA Rookie of the Year award almost unanimously in 06-07. He played 57 games as a rookie and averaged 16.8 points per game in 06-07 season. In the first half of the 2007–2008 season, Roy led the team to exceed all expectations. He was selected as a reserve to the 2008 NBA All-Star Game, where he led the Western Conference in minutes, and tied for the most points in the west.

Brandon Roy was the Shooting Guard for the Washington Huskies. He played for the University of Washington (UW) for four years under Lorenzo Romar. He majored in American Ethnic Studies. After his junior year, Roy considered entering the draft, but changed his mind when he learned that teammate Nate Robinson and high school senior and UW signee Martell Webster (with whom he would reunite in the NBA) intended to enter the draft. He saw an opportunity to rise in the ranks on his college team, and improve his draft position. In his senior year Roy averaged 20.2 points per game while leading the Huskies to a 26–7 season and a second straight Sweet Sixteen appearance. Roy was named Pac-10 player of the year and received All-American honors at the end of the season, while also being a finalist for the Wooden, Naismith, Oscar Robertson, and Adolph Rupp awards. He 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.
