Wasn't he one of the best perimeter defenders this year at some point.

If Tony Allen can start on a playoff team, Roberson can definitely get playing time.

Yea, OP is on a mission to prove he's terrible, and wanted to prove a point to the OKC board. He's kinda doing the opposite.

Roberson was the 4th best SG by DRPM this year (at 3.30).

Havent seen anyone saying theyd want roberson on a contending team....tony is better defensively, and on offense ( which is saying alot.) Also would disagree that roberson can guard a 4 man. This occurs very rarely. Cant even begin comparing him to dramond green that guys a monster

Well, I've seen a GSW fan, Cavs fan, and Pacers fan....but keep diggin that hole. I'll leave the thread, and let others prove it to you.

Roberson has the defensive capability of 3 Terrence Rosses on the court at once.

So yeah...he'd get playing time.

Roberson is a really interesting case. Offensively, he can't shoot and thus kills spacing. I think this could make him unplayable in the playoffs when weaknesses are exposed. However, he's an excellent cutter and good finisher who knows his limitations. He doesn't try to do more than he should.

Defensively, he's a monster. I really think he has a chance to be the best perimeter defender in the league. He has great length, versatility, and can just shadow guys.

Having said all that, and as a Thunder fan, until his offense improves, I'd like to see him used situationally. With the Thunder's offensive firepower, they can be great with Roberson in the regular season, but I'm not sure it'll work in the playoffs unless he can shoot (see Thabo Sefolosha in the playoffs). I hope Donovan doesn't start him unless the matchups dictate it. But I like the guy and I wouldn't be stunned to see him get his 3 point percentage up to a playable low 30s %. We'll see...

My team doesn't have two MVP caliber offensive juggernaut that can score 30 on any given night either. Roberson is a good fit given roster.

He's an exceptional rebounder as well.

Roberson depends on how well your spacing is..the Cavs, GS, NO, and Portland could all get away with playing him and letting him do his thing. However, putting him in Minnesota for example wouldn't be ideal on offense with Rubio already being an iffy shooter.

thamadkant · Post #28 » by **thamadkant** » Sat May 30, 2015 12:33 am

He annoys me when he passes up open looks that Westbrook or Durant creates for him...

Useless in the offensive side almost...

Post #29 » by **bondom34** » Sat May 30, 2015 12:35 am

And as for "offensively inept"...he can straight line dribble and dunk. The issue w/ Thabo was he'd just pass up open looks, Robes at least shoots, slashes, and dunks.

Post #30 » by **Goudelock** » Sat May 30, 2015 12:38 am

Dude, we were starting guys named Vander Blue and Dwight Buycks at the end of the season at 2 guard. He'd definitely get minutes on my team.

I think the question is more would Roberson start on any contenders and play lengthy minutes?

slothrop8 · Post #32 » by **slothrop8** » Sat May 30, 2015 1:18 am

As an excellent wing defender he could likely get at least situational minutes on every team in the league. Even the Warriors would have gleefully turned him loose on Harden for 10 minutes a game. There'd be no more than 7 or 8 teams at most he should start for though. As a Raptor fan I'd love to fuse him with Terrence Ross. Roberson with Ross's jumper would be a star, and Ross with Roberson's jumper would be out of basketball.

This is pretty spot on, except the last part. Ross with Roberson is Dion Waiters.

Pacers didnt make the playoffs in the east...comparing him to Solomon hill ok.havent seen any cavs or warriors fan state who they would play him over....iggy, barnes, livingston, klay haha? Jr smith, shumpert, delly? Dont think so. Also he cant guard 4s cmon

Hmm trying to think of other nba 2 guards who cant straight line dribble and dunk?

He's not known for his offense, but he is an ELITE defender. Having an elite defender who can "straight line dribble and dunk" is fine; if he can add a half decent three point jumper, he'll be more than fine.

Roberson would start or get heavy minutes in Chicago.

Hinrich: 24 mpg

Dunleavy: 29 mpg

Bulls have the 2nd worst FG% at the rim in the entire league.
"Can Make a Layup" is all you need on your resume to apply here.

I never understood why Hinrich played as much as he did this year.

Many can but possibly aren't as good at it as roberson...I'm guessing he finishes around the rim very well. Dude shoots 60% when he's not shooting 3s, which is more efficient scoring than shaq.

Looking at the play he just made, there is no way in the world terrence ross makes that play and he's a very good dunker (though horrible at taking it to the rim and finishing on defenders)

Well, they're certainly a contender next year, and we now can add Bulls fans too. So, what happened was...
1. You said he wouldn't get minutes on other teams.
2. Said you would poll the gen board.
3. You didn't get the answer you wanted so you're ignoring it.
