Roy represented the Trail Blazers back in 2007 when Portland jumped up and got the #1 overall pick to draft Greg Oden. The Blazers had a 5.3% chance of grabbing the top pick in 2007.

Roy played five season for the Trail Blazers averaging 19 points per game, but his career was shortened due to injury. It’s always one of the bigger what ifs in Trail Blazers franchise history. Rip City is hoping Roy can bring the luck again and snag his second ever #1 overall draft pick and put the Blazers on a great trajectory.
