布兰登-罗伊在2010-11赛季因为膝盖的问题度过了一个混乱的赛季，这位前NBA全明星球员说他对自己在开拓者的角色没有期望。27岁的罗伊在接受《俄勒冈人报》采访时表示:“我甚至不想把任何东西放在外面。”“不管怎样，我不想抱太大希望。我只是想努力让自己好起来。如果我能让一百万人大吃一惊，那就更好了。希望我能给一些人带来惊喜。”罗伊承认，所有关于他作为NBA精英球员的职业生涯已经结束的传言激励了他。“我对一些事情的表达方式和人们对我的评价完全没有意见，”罗伊说。“我有点喜欢被怀疑和被排挤。那对我来说是个好地方。 I like this role." Roy later added, "I don't have to be The Guy, but just a focal point again, to where -- not to knock a player -- but if Jason Terry is guarding me, then my team can believe I can expose that matchup. That's part of getting my confidence back to where I can give confidence back to Coach and the organization." Roy, to preserve his knees, will probably enter training camp as the backup shooting guard behind starter Wesley Matthews.
