I'd say that you can't run away from the possibility of an injury. One of the biggest areas of improvement Roy will likely target is being able to hang in faster paced games, and the best way to train for that that is to play in as many games as possible. He might get injured, but he'd only be holding himself back by shying away from playing.

Also helpful will be playing against decent competition of the power forward type that gave him trouble last year.

The Kenner league wouldn't be a great place for Roy to post up against other legit 7'2" centers, but it would be a good place for him to work on his game while getting pushed around by the 6'9" guys.

Assuming the Kenner League will take place during the month of July, with the playoffs in early August, I presume Roy will be unavailable -- as that will be the same time frame he will be preparing for and competing in the Pan Am games in Rio de Janeiro.

This was posted in a prior thread, but bears repeating:

No, I'm not, but I'm certain he will be invited to try out. If I'm him I would make every effort to be on that squad.
