SportsLine's Analysis
Huskies coach Lorenzo Romar insists the unselfish Roy, once he's surrounded by players better than himself, will take his game to another level. Expect Roy to make a big impact as a rookie, though he might never be an All-Star. - Gregg Doyel

Given how raw a lot of his players are, Nate McMillan will jump at the chance to add a ready-made starter from the Northwest. From a publicity standpoint, the Blazers would love it if Morrison were available; he'd be a great draw and a strong fit as well. - Tony Mejia

Scouting Report
Going into his senior season, Roy was considered to be a second-round pick. After a stellar season and impressive play in the 2006 NCAA tournament, he now finds himself in the same sentence as the word "lottery". Roy had his best season statistically as a senior, averaging 20.2 points, 5.6 rebounds and 4.1 assists a game, and clearly showing scouts that it is hard to find a more complete guard in this year's draft. While not being a jaw-dropping athletic specimen, Roy has an uncanny knack to take defenders off the dribble any time he pleases, although that won't be as easy at the NBA level. Roy is a good ball-handler who plays with an air of patience that allows him to seldom force bad shots or make bad decisions with the ball. The major weakness in Roy's game has always been his outside shot, but his mid-range game is quite developed. Roy worked hard to dispel the notion that his outside game is weak by improving his 3-point shooting percentage to 40 percent last season. Roy's shooting percentages speak to his well-rounded game. As a senior, he shot 51 percent from the floor and 81 percent from the free-throw line, when he averaged about 32 minutes per game. But that was nothing compared to the 57 percent he shot from the floor as a junior, when he averaged close to 24 minutes per game. In the 2006 NCAA tournament, Roy continued to wow scouts with his versatility. In a first-round game against Utah State, Roy was 11-of-19 from the floor en route to 28 points to go along with four 3-pointers, five assists and three steals. In a second-round win over Illinois, Roy showed he doesn't have to take a lot of shots to be highly effective. He scored 21 points, was 5-of-11 from the floor, 11-of-14 from the line, and had seven rebounds and three steals. Although he has the ability to guard multiple positions, Roy lacks tremendous size and doesn't have great foot speed, but he is more than willing to defend with maximum effort. There are many positives to Roy's game, and he has clearly showed everyone that he can stuff stat sheets. (AP)
