Roberts has a good upside. He works hard in and around the post area. He works to get rebounds using his length and body. He works well from the high post passing to slashers, shooters in the corner, setting solid screens, and hitting the paint jumper. He’s a growing body.

Evaluations are normally subscriber-only but when an athlete subscribes, theirs becomes free for all readers. Subscribing doesn't change who the Scout covers, it changes who gets to see it.
