Andre Roberson tonight...

[russwest0]

Was on Kobe basically the whole game and held him to 3-15 shooting.

On the year he's holding opponents to a league best 31% from the field, and that number is probably below 30% after tonight.

He's quickly becoming my favorite player in the league. Amazing at getting rebounds and plays the most sound defense I've ever seen for such a young player.

Here's an article on Roberson with a few gif like videos and stats with a graph and what not:

I dunno dude, he seems to have similar weaknesses as Thabo.

Not really.

Thabo was an indecisive b*tch on offense. Roberson either keeps the ball moving, shoots, or attacks. Plus so far he's proven to be a good lob target for Westbrook.

Tonight was good for Roberson offensively. 4-7 shooting, 10 points, 7 rebounds, 0 turnovers, and played epic defense all night. Best moment of the game came after he airballed a FT and was getting heckled by fans and followed it up by drilling a 3 pointer.

Can't shoot the 3

how the hell did the dude go from playing PF last season to SG?

He never played PF for OKC. The reason he fell in the draft is because he played PF in college, was DPOY, and led college in rebounding, but teams viewed him as an undersized PF at the NBA level and he slipped.

OKC saw him as a SG and currently they become much better whenever he's in the game.

Dude just needs to improve his 3pt shooting and we'd be good. He'd be like the perfect 3&D player.

[russwest0]

You can develop a semi-respectable 3pt shot in this league. Hell I remember when Ibaka wouldn't dare shoot a 3pt shot and now he shoots them like it's nothing.

Thing is though you can't just teach guys to play defense and rebound like Roberson does.

As long as it doesn't take away from his slashing game which is pretty good.

So if Thunder still somehow doesn't win it all this year they have GOT to break it up. Their two leaders, ones overly alpha ones too beta.

nah let's not give credit to andre, that's kobe being himself.

[KOBEtherealKing]

That's just bad offense. Dude isnt any better than Sefo offensive wise. Whoever said Roberson shoots is reaching, the guy passes everytime and sucks at shooting. No hate though

[ThatCoolKid]

Thunder the most stacked team in the league.

No excuses.
