Who is the better player between the two? Joe Johnson's 09-10 Stats 21.3 pts, 4.9 assists, 4.6 rebs, 45% FG Brandon Roy's 09-10 Stats 21.5 pts, 4.7 assists, 4.4 rebs, 47% Both led their teams to the playoffs. But overall, who is better player?

I like B-Roy, but Joe cant take over games too, didn't you see him against the celtics 2 years ago, he single handedly beat the Celtics in their home games.
I gotta go with Roy. Beyond physical attributes, Roy seems like a better teammate. Johnson, to me at least, comes off as a "I'm going to get mine" player while Roy seems more likely to be OK with not scoring as long as the Blazers win.
I voted Roy, though I'm not a huge fan right now. Roy dominates the ball a little much for my liking, but I love his late game ability. Johnson is a solid player but not worth his contract IMO.
"I want the ball a lot more," Roy said. "I want to be maximized every game," "That's a position that I'm strong with, with the basketball, and I'm extremely confident with it." http://www.oregonlive.com/blazers/index.ssf/2010/10/i_want_the_ball_a_lot_more_all.html
Brandon Roy, but not because I'm biased and he's my favorite player. But because he can take over a game. He's the closer, he's the goto guy at the end of the game, and he's the leader of the team. Now I'm not saying Joe Johnson can't take over, but I just don't see Joe Johnson being a vocal leader.
joe johnson is one of the most overrated players in the NBA. i've never seen a star player shrinks more in the playoffs than he does.
PER favored Roy last year. Box score stats are pretty similar except one area -- Roy got the free throw line almost twice as frequently. That made him a more efficient scorer.
Well in my fantasy league I picked Johnson only because Roy can't stay healthy. Roy is the better player, but that don't mean S@@t if you can't stay on the floor.
