Brandon Roy
The Portland Trail Blazers thought they had found the answer at shooting guard when they selected Washington Husky Brandon Roy in the 2006 NBA Draft, and for four years they were right, as Roy was named Rookie of the Year and later led the Blazers to the playoffs in 2009 after a five-year drought. Unfortunately, repeated knee injuries and surgeries left Roy with a shell of his former abilities, and he retired in 2011 when he was only 28.
