At the University of Washington, Roy was praised for his overall game, including being able to defend against both guards and forwards. Prior to 2006 NBA Draft, Roy declared for the draft previously, but came back for his senior season. Yes, Roy is one of those rare four-year college players, but it has worked wonders for him in the NBA as his versatile game has transitioned to the pro game with seeming ease. He is now part of nucleus that includes LaMarcus Aldridge to bring glory back to the Blazers franchise.
