I say he'll be back by late march or first week of April. Just curious to see what the consensus on the board is at this point. We clearly need him back real badly.

I voted no because he's traveling with the team. To me that means that he's done otherwise he would stay in OKC working out

I actually dont know. I also dont think he is the savior that many think he is.
I mean the difference between T-Ferg and Robes on D is almost as much as them on O. Especially with the way Freg has been shooting the past two months.
Robes comes back and our offense immediately takes a huge hit IMO

Roberson would be taking Naders minutes, not Ferg. Robe can either play as a starter or off the bench for the remainder of the year, but at least you take away Naders minutes who has been absolutely killing our defense. Also, Ferg looked a lot better a month or two ago then he does now. He has become a foul machine and his offense has hit a wall. He can hit a couple of 3s a game, but Robe gives you an efficient 8-10 points off cuts.

Hell no. Roberson is a clear upgrade against two of the 3 teams we will face in the first round : Houston or Utah. You can put Roberson on Donovan Mitchell or James Harden and they won't be as efficient. Donovan Mitchell killed Ferguson last time (not blaming Ferguson, Mitchell is a GREAT player).
Playing Roberson also allows PG13 to rest a bit on defense (meaning not having to defend against the best opponent wing) to give him some extra energy on offense.
