Brandon roy press conference about his team and future plans and goals
Media:Brandon, how do you feel about this year's portland team?
Brandon:Well, i like this years team, i think we've really improved after training camp, and i think we might make the playoffs this year.
Media:What do you think of the teams' additions in the past couple of years, including this offseason with the rookies?
Brandon:Well first of all, a while ago we got Nene, he's a great young player with a lot of upside, he's 25 years old now and is slowly improvin in different skills. I also got some veteran help at the shooting gaurd position, which includes a highflyer and outside scorer Vince carter and the sharpshooter Jamal Crawford. I can learn from those players. We have two great playmakers at the point gaurd position in Andre Miller and Shawn Livingston. As far as the rookies, as you know, we only have one and that is our 21 year old point gaurd Roman Motel. He can shoot threes but he struggles with his midrange game, he just needs to work on his athletiscism and defense because he's weak in those areas.
Media:Are you happy here in this city?
Brandon:Yes, i love it here, its nice and quiet.
Media:Do you think this team will ever win an nba championship?
Brandon:Yes, our assistants are working hard to help improve me and my teamates skills, and along with practices, we should be a great team in a few years, i hope we get some good rookies this year, i think we need some forwards, a small forward and another power forward, because i've heard rumors that Raef will be leaving us soon. Any more questions?
Media:No
