Nice thread. Only reservation has already been pointed out: it's only one game. We may be over-rating Roberson and under-valuing someone else. I like a team that ahs a classic line-up of a center who is a center, a power forward who is a power forward, etc. That way everything fits together. If you don't have that it's like a jigsaw puzzle without all the pieces. we could lose games because of the resulting holes. That said, I see no reason why the same players have to perform the same function on both ends if they aren't suited to do so. As long as somebody's getting each job done.

I do think we have more offensive options than we've had in a while and that's good. But we may have more defensive liabilities as well, and that's bad. The depth at center and point guard, with players playing out of position to fill those roles, makes me very nervous.

I expected more form Tyler Roberson, now in his second year, than I saw, (again, it was one game). He looked like the same nervous, tentative player he was last year. I hoped being given a starting position and more rope by JB would help him get over that. I hope to see evidence of it as we go along. It would be interesting to hear the view of those Roberson fans who were saying a year ago that he'd be a big part of last year's team. What gives with this guy?

And I'm still hoping to see a lot more form BJ Johnson, who i think has star potential but sometimes looks like he's all arms and legs.
