Roy Encouraged By Progress, Ready To Earn Starting Spot


Recommended Posts

Brandon Roy said he had mixed results recently after resuming basketball drills.

 

The bad news? He says he doesn't have the same lift on his jumps as he did during his run of three All-Star appearances. The good news is that he has surprised himself with his mobility, and he has been free of pain and swelling. Plus, his knees feel stronger than they did during the season -- in part because of the nearly three months since the season ended and in part because the January surgeries are even further in the past.

 

"I'm not going to put a limit on anything,” Roy said. “People ask, 'Are you going to come off the bench?' Got to wait and see. When training camp comes, I'm going to work, and that way I will put myself in a position to give myself a chance. But I don't want to put myself in a position where I'm saying, 'I'm going to come off the bench.' Or, 'I'm going to start.'

 

"I just want to go out there and play, and that way, Coach can say, 'Wow, he looks this way.' Or ,'Wow, maybe not' ... Then we will go from there."
