For the Portland Trailblazers why does is Andre Miller a starter over Brandon Roy?

I don't get it, B. Roy is a better PG but Miller is the starter, anyone know why this is?

edit: ignore the obvious grammatical error in the title :S

Brandon Roy isn't a point guard, although he did control the ball alot. He got hurt in the middle of the year and wasn't able to fully utilize his body. Hopefully he'll return this year in a much better condition.

Roy pretty much doesn't have any knees... it's very possible he never plays basketball again (including pick up). I love his game so I hope he can bounce back but that's the main issue. But as mentioned, even when healthy he wasn't a PG. When he was healthy he was the starting SG, without a question.

Roy is a shooting guard who can also create for others. His injury situation is unfortunate but the kid had plenty of game. Pull ups, tight crossovers, sound fundamentals, finishes with either hand, and court awareness were the main aspects of Roy's game.

And I've always liked Andre Miller's game. He sees everything on the court, can post and shoot from mid range, and can run halfcourt offenses at a high level. Looks like he's going back to Denver.
