I think he could really be a sneaky addition that lasts for the whole year.

He was once named to the NBA's All Defensive second team.

In college he was named the Pac 12's defensive player of the year.

Robersons first real test is coming up against Kawhi and PG. Think he might get some real minutes especially with KD still out

I would think so as well. He seemed to be moving around well in the few minutes he played last game. Had a nice recovery block. If he's fully recovered from his injuries he might be huge for us.

is he really washed up though? He was elite pre injury and he wont have much responsibility because he'll be playing less minutes compared to his OKC days. He'll have more energy to exert on defense off the bench. I think this is a great signing. Has experience with KD too.

Roberson, Vonleh, Shumpert (is he injured?) are not getting any playing time. What’s the point of these signings?

Calm down. We shrunk our rotation for a tough road game. Heck, we just went 5-0 on the toughest road swing in recent memory, and you gripe that our 13th, 14th and 15th men didn't play???

Name 3 players we should've signed instead, that would have for certain played in this game and made a positive impact. If you can't do that, just enjoy the W.

Don't forget at least 1 had to be sign by a certain date too.... maybe 2?
