Andrea Bargnani got the other first-place vote.
Brandon Roy wins rookie of the year in a landslide. Blazers.com rejoices:
"This is a proud day for the city, the franchise, and Brandon, whose performance this past season speaks volumes to the direction we're headed as a franchise," said Trail Blazers general manager Kevin Pritchard. "Both on and off the court, Brandon has demonstrated the maturity and poise of a veteran, and we couldn't be more pleased that he's a member of the Portland Trail Blazers."
"It's rare to see a rookie step in, assume a leadership role and become a go-to guy as Brandon did this past season," said Trail Blazers head coach Nate McMillan. "Brandon is a phenomenal young talent and has a chance to become a very special player in this league."
A key component to Portland's 11-game improvement from a season ago, Roy shot .456 from the floor, .377 from 3-point range and .838 from the foul line in 57 games (55 starts). He scored 20-plus points 16 times, including a career-high 29 points April 4 vs. Utah.
Roy earned 127 of 128 possible first-place votes, matching the 99.2 percent vote total that Chris Paul received last season. That number stands as the highest percentage of votes since David Robinson won the award unanimously in 1989-90.
