I don’t know if he has a glaring weakness. I guess the only thing I can say is that he’s only an All-Star, not a Super Star (if that’s really a weakness)...

His rookie year he shot 84%, and last he shot what, 75%? He really should be between 80%-85%, and he has a game which will get him to the line a lot and we need him to hit those.

Also, his rookie year, he started something like 1 for 25 from the three point line. After that, he shot over 40% the rest of the year and ended up with a good percentage (.377). This season, he was streaky from behind the line and dropped his percentage to .344; he could improve that.

Otherwise, aside from wanting him to do game changing dunks since we know he has that 40 inch vertical, he’s perfect and dreamy and when he screams “HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY” when fouled he is singing directly into my heart.

he’s not clutch, and he’s way too slow. I don’t know how he became an All-Star.

First and foremost, he doesn’t usually set the tone early on in the game. He seems to have an ability to take over in the 4th when the game is on the line and the intensity is high. So, why not do it earlier on. Maybe we’ll be up a few points later on as a result and not have to rely on the last second stuff.

2nd is mentioned above. For having such a good mid-range game, he is very inconsistant with his freethrows.

Brandon Roy has nothing in the way of a very glaring weakness. He can do almost everything well or very well. The only exceptions to these I can think of are free throw shooting (as mentioned before) and three-point shooting.

when he was an infant his mother dipped him by his heal in a solution to make him impervious!

Actually I think his only weakness is that he can get beat up a bit much over the course of the season, causing his production to drop. Although I think he’s realized this (comments during that Seattle tourney) and having the Aldridge-Oden tandem will help protect him as he wont have to dive to the rim through as many defenders.

but the free throw idea is meritous and I thought Brandon started last season out of shape and needed a month to get his game smooth. I hope this season he comes into more prepared

to start last year, Nate had him playing largely off the ball, which as we all know, he either isn’t as good at or as comfortable with as he is handling and creating shots. Right around the time of our 13 game winning streak, Nate allowed Roy to take over the majority of the ball handling, in essence making him our de facto PG. Plus, Nate runs a wicked crazy conditioning test which all players have to pass before playing, so if Roy passed that, he obviously must’ve been in shape!

If he had a weakness in the pass, it was due to immaturity.
Next step in his evolution is SUPER-STAR. No more time for weaknesses.

just because he our best perimeter defender, doesn’t mean he is a great one (see Steve blake 2 years ago).

I would like to see him more active in the passing lanes and getting steals. He is probaly our best fastbreak option ecause he can either score or pass on the break

Also staying on his feet when driving to the hoop. They call him the Wade of the West for a reason, he gets banged up a lot.

For chocolate and chocolate rain.

My biggest fear for B-Roy is that he turns into another T-Mac. I really really reallyyyy hope Brandon can stay healthy and have a dominant career.
