Foye And Roy At Summer League

The Wolves lost to Portland tonight in summer league and, according to Draft Express, Brandon Roy was "far and away the best player on the floor."

On the match up between the player the Wolves selected and the player the Wolves actually got in the draft, Draft Express says:
Foye handled the ball against Brandon Roy , which was a nice little side-bar to the action. Foye kept Roy in front of him on nearly every possession as Roy didn't seem to have the tricks to penetrate past Foye's defensive pressure.

Foye has also been getting high marks from around the league while showing off his skills in Vegas:
"He's calm and collected," said Phoenix star Amare Stoudemire, whose Suns allowed Foye to score 30 points Friday at Cox Pavilion. "He knows what he's doing out there. He takes his time. A lot of rookies don't have that type of poise. For him to come into the league with that poise already, he's in good shape. The guy has a nice game, and he's got a great future ahead of him."

Foye was named Toshiba Player Of The Day after the team's win over Phoenix on Friday.
