Nicolas Batum on Brandon Roy: 'Best Player I've Ever Played With'

Brandon Roy and Nicolas Batum were teammates on the Portland Trail Blazers from 2008-11, and the latter had glowing reviews for the University of Washington product.

On Tuesday, Batum tweeted Roy was the "best player I've ever played with" in response to a highlight video of the swingman.

Roy's talent was clear during his NBA career after he was the No. 6 overall pick in the 2006 draft. He was the 2006-07 Rookie of the Year, a three-time All-Star and a two-time member of an All-NBA team, although injuries cut his career short.

He is still just 33 years old, but the last time he played in the NBA was 2012-13 when he appeared in five games for the Minnesota Timberwolves.
