LaMarcus Aldridge is trying to extend his range beyond the three-point line in an effort to expand his game.

"I know he is shooting the three-ball well now," said Brandon Roy. "I don't want to say it too loud because I don't know if coach wants him shooting too many. But he's shooting it really well. That's the biggest thing that I've noticed. He's added the handle to his game and the three point ball."

Aldridge, at 6-11, is essentially a pick-and-pop kind of guy at this point in his career.

"I think my face-up game has gotten better," Aldridge admitted. "This year I am trying to play more facing the basket."
