There’s a big difference between running the point and driving and dishing each play. The team already follows Roy as a leader, not difficult to see him stepping up as a floor general as well. The mentality is of course the issue, but is it impossible to see him playing as a pass first combo guard (Chris Paul comes to mind no matter how much I try to ignore it)? Harder then Bayless? Along with defense, this could be Roy’s next step into superstar status. Roy already figured out last year that he can he can draw so much attention he can take one step and pass for a wide open 3. Even going pass first, Roy is going to get his points regardless.

Defense is an issue as well, we don’t want him chasing around the quicker point guards every play. Thats why he needs to be matched up with a scoring off-guard that can play D and shoot the 3. If Bayless develops his 3 pt. shot (40% in college i believe) he could fill that role very well. Patty Mills might become that player as well. Any combo of bayless, roy, patty, and rudy would be beautiful. Plus a late game defensive lineup of roy-martell-batum-aldridge-oden is just scary as judgedridge mentioned. That or an all-out offensive juggernaut of roy-rudy-martell-aldridge-oden.

If Roy decideds he wants to become a pass first combo guard, I see no reason why he couldnt do it, he IS “The Natural” after all. The only problem I see is Nate and his PG fetish. Obviously I have yet to even mention a true point guard, as I believe we don’t need one. But, if Roy proves it by developing an in-out game with Oden (priority 1 imo) and actually running the offense, he can use his superstar status and close contact with nate to sway him over.
