McRoberts comes home for fresh start
Oct 2, 2008

It reads like one of those exam questions asking which statement does not belong with the others.

He was the best high school senior in the country in 2004-05. He was one of the best freshmen in the ACC in 2005-06. He was just the second sophomore in Duke history to be named a co-captain 2006-07. He was in the D-League, twice, in 2007-08.

Josh McRoberts' storybook career ran into an unexpected plot twist in his first NBA season but now that the Carmel High product is back home again, he's confident he can write the happy ending so many expect.

"I think it's good to get a fresh start here in Indiana," McRoberts said. "Obviously it's exciting to me home, here with the Pacers, and I think I've been doing everything I can to have a great opportunity and have a great outlook for this year."

I do not really like McRoberts being a Duke player and all, but of course I eventually forgave Dunleavy - kinda. It is very interesting to see that he is our most athletic big man, I did not see that a possibility. I find it hard to believe a 6'10 PF who is more athletic than Troy Murphy hasn't been able to make an impression in the NBA. I remember everyone having high hopes from them, but its weird that he didn't fulfill that.

I'm actually looking forward to watching him after reading this article, but if we were to trade him for a UNC player I'd be much happier. Then again, all UNC players have much higher value than Dukies. :-p
