Honorable Mention :
# Brandon Roy
Brandon Roy was the Rookie of the Year in the 2006-2007 NBA season and the third Trail Blazer to achieve it. He was one of the most talented shooting guards of that time. He averaged 16.8 points, 4.4 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game in his rookie season. His career average is 18.8 points, 4.7 assists and 4.3 rebounds per game. He is a three-time NBA All-star with a career-high of 52 points.
The only trouble with this guy was his knee injuries. His injuries forced him to retire before the start of 2011 season. He left the NBA out of frustrations but came back in 2012-2013 season with Minnesota Timberwolves and was forced to step-out just after five games played because of a season-ending knee surgery.
