It's never a bad idea to prepare for a kid to leave early, and we've been surprised in the past, but I just don't see how Roberson leaves early with just incremental improvement.  Right now, the only thing he does that's above average for a college forward is rebound.  Given his average-below average NBA size for a PF and relatively average athleticism, there'd be no money for him to go get.  We wouldn't be talking about the difference between guaranteed or non-guaranteed money.  We'd be talking about the difference between non-guaranteed money and no money.

Now, if Roberson or another player manages to blow-up and have an All-ACC type season, then we're obviously talking about something.  But I think TR would need more than an incremental improvement to get to that point.

If we're going to have a player leave early, I think the two best bets are an Obokoh transfer or DC2 ending his career due to injury.  I don't think Richardson or Lydon will get the playing time necessary to show anything spectacular to NBA scouts (this is where I could be wrong).
