Brandon Roy?

Postby Red Vines on Sat Jun 16, 2012 10:25 pm

Roy is preparing and expecting to come back next year, any chance he can still be good for significant minutes? His skillset is pretty much exactly what we could use at the 2 IF he can hold up physically.

Brandon is going to have to show everyone he can still play. Severe knee injuries and a year away from the game don't bode well for his comeback.

maybe time off is what he needs.. if that knee holds he can probably still play, just reduced minutes.. the guy is a highly skilled player...

He was supposed to be the next big 2 guard in the league. It's a shame his career went the way it did.

if he would take a the vet min its a no brainer.low risk/high reward profit.
i think he will be limited to 20 minutes a night, but for him that could produce solid production off any teams bench

You know how a piece of chalk run across the blackboard can make your skin crawl? Imagine hearing that sound every day Brandon Roy stepped on to the court. I don't think this is a recovery issue. Its a bone on bone issue.

He should be picking the Suns...
