Portland guard Brandon Roy talked about the growth of rookie big man Greg Oden recently, and claimed that former No. 1 overall pick is starting to relax on the court.

"I think he's a lot more relaxed than he was in the past. ... People just need to be patient with him. He's just a kid that just turned 21, sat out a whole season of basketball," Roy said.

"He'll be fine. People want so much out of him. I just tell him: "Man, just relax and play your game and go at your pace. And when you're ready to explode, they'll be just as happy then as they would be if you did it now."
