Yep, it's blatantly obvious he has no role in this offense at this point. He just swings it and prevents any semblance of continuity. Enough is enough. Paul George can do basically everything he can defensively. George does not have to facilitate nearly to the levels he did in Indiana offensively. He will have plenty of energy to D up and play a roll as a great 2a/2b option on offense. Start analyzing critically, people. Roberson isn't a championship level player, despite how highly advanced stats speak of his defense. With Paul George on the team, his D isn't as needed, though it gives them an interesting option for a few minutes a night. Grant, who also is limited offensively, is still way better than Roberson on that end, and can be involved in action such as dribbling, collapsing the defense off a handoff, and shooting an open jumper and hitting the rim. He can also guard the second best wing, as can melo or abrines, without the completely overblown consequences Roberson supporters claim will happen. Westbrook, George, melo, patterson, and Adams 5 would be very good on D, especially if Westbrook pitches in on that end (which he needs to).
I submit the people who say "you don't watch the little things he does defensively," ( I do, he's very good at them, so is Paul george), dont pay attention to all the things his offensive limitations do to effect the team and limit them. I mean, people on here argue there are other players who go completely unguarded like Roberson (open your eyes, folks, that's not the case. Did you see how much smoother mbah a moute is than him, and how even he draws much more respect from the D than roberson? He can dribble and shoot an open J). They prefer to be the smartest man in the room, because they appreciate defense more than the average person. He's a complete joke on offense, he isn't guarded. The cutter/screener roll is a pipe dream and lazy argument. That's not him, either. He just stinks on offense, in all aspects.
