Former All-Star Isaiah Thomas and Jamal Crawford react to ex-NBA star’s son Brandon Roy Jr. committing to the Washington Huskies

Brandon Roy Jr., the son of the three-time NBA All-Star Brandon Roy, will follow in his father's footsteps after committing to the Washington Huskies. The 6-foot-2 guard announced his decision through an Instagram post on Monday.

"AGTG!!!! In 2009 I watched my father’s jersey be retired at UW, not knowing one day I’d get to wear it. Thank you to Coach Sprinkle , staff and the University of Washington for giving me a chance. Thank you to my parents for believing in me. 💜 💛🏁," Roy Jr. wrote.

The post received comments from two-time All-Star Isaiah Thomas, and three-time Sixth Man of the Year Jamal Crawford. USC Trojans assistant coach Will Conroy, the Huskies' official Instagram account and former Utah Jazz forward Rudy Gay also dropped their reactions.

Roy Jr. is one of several Class of 2025 prospects who are former NBA players' sons. These include Duke Blue Devils signees Cameron and Cayden Boozer, the sons of the two-time All-Star Carlos Boozer.

Meanwhile, LeBron James' younger son, Bryce James, signed with the Arizona Wildcats.

Roy Jr. will wear the No. 3 jersey, which was retired by the program during his father's NBA career. During his senior year at Washington, Roy Sr. averaged 20.2 points per game, leading the Huskies to a 26-7 (13-5 Pac-10) season and a second straight Sweet Sixteen appearance.

Additionally, he was named Pac-10 player of the year and was a finalist for the Wooden, Naismith, Oscar Robertson and Adolph Rupp awards.
