Anyone else think Roberson could start at PF?

It just occurred to me, but he's a much better defender than Ersan and a lineup with Dipo at the 2 and Robes at 4 would be crazy athletic, have a 3rd shot creator, and not really drop off in shooting from last year.

I was really impressed with him in the playoffs. I think that he could definitely start at PF on certain occasions when the matchups are favorable. I would start Ersan when we're up against bigger/stronger PFs though.

Nah. Spacing would be utterly terrible.

Maybe. We'll see a lot of different lineups in the 1st half of the season so we just got to wait and see

Better than it was.

Dipo is a better shot than Robes by a larger margin than Serge over Robes.

I don't know why he'd start at the 4 instead of kd but yeah I think he could still start
