[B]I think ya gotta swap Grant and Roberson positions. Grant is growing into a natural 4 and I think the whole reason we got Roberson is he wants to be more of a 3.[/quote][/B]
 
 
You might be right, especially if CJ leaves. In that case, since Grant doesn't have any apparent outside game, and Roberson does, I'd say Grant=PF and Roberson=SF.
 
But if CJ stays, he will eat up most of the SF minutes. Roberson could spell him and backup Grant at PF, where he plays now. But Roberson might be too valuable to sit and, at 6'9+, he can play above the rim and block shots. It's a great problem to have ... ala JB's Olympic squad.
 
This is standard JB recruiting stuff. He loves versatile players ... Hak's a perfect example. Is he a SF or PF? Roberson ...also shoots from the outside but plays over the rim, blocks shots ...etc. Patterson/BJ Johnson could play the 2 or 3, along with Gbinje. And Obokoh could probably slide over the 5, just as Keita and Rak now do.
