Brandon Roy is professional. In all senses of the word. He knows how to work the press, but in a very subtle way. He’s saying the same thing as everyone else (this year is going to be good, we’re aiming for the division title, I can’t wait to start) but he’s makes it profound. The first question this blog ever asked to the MVP candidate was, "How do you think the lost weight will change your game this year?" He responded: "It won’t change much, but I don’t think I’ll be defending many small forwards any more – those dudes are big."

Unless the opposing coach “chooses” to play a 3 guard lineup, it doesn’t sound like Roy will be "sliding over’ to guard SFs on a regular basis, this year. (And at 205 pounds, he should be asked to do this much, against players who weigh 220+)

What this will mean for Rudy’s PT is for Nate to decide…
