With Brandon Roy's draft stock climbing to a point where he is unlikely to fall past four, he is becomming a poster child for the 'stay in school' sect. Last year, Roy considered leaving the University of Washington early, but found that he likely wouldn't be one of the first names called out.
"A year ago I was a second-round pick," Roy said recently.
"Then [earlier this season] I was a late first-round pick. Now that's over, I'm a top-five pick. It's just incredible. It shows how much difference a year can make."
