As a catch and shoot marksman, he was able to quickly release his shot, making it challenging for defenders to contest. In one-on-one situations, his wide crossovers and stepbacks often created space to get his shot off effectively on the perimeter. Ideal athleticism, Roberts showed the ability to attack the basket with intensity and confidence while attempting to finish strong at the rim nearly slamming all over his opponents.
