<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Not surprisingly, Blazers guard Brandon Roy was named Western Conference rookie of the month for January on Thursday. Roy led all rookies during the month in scoring at 16.6 points per game, steals at 1.69 and minutes at 34.4. He tied for second with 3.4 assists per game and third in rebounds at 4.8. "It's great news," Roy said after practice. "It's a sign that I played a pretty good month of basketball, and I knew I had to play a pretty good month if I was going to make the rookie-sophomore game. It all kind of ties in."</div> Source
In one of the worst rookie classes I have ever seen Roy is head and shoulders above the rest. I really wish that the Sonics would have done something to move up and get him in the draft.
