Message: [QUOTE="Cheriehoop, post: 2381767, member: 127"] Roberson was one of the most frustrating players we ever had. The potential was there and you'd see the tantalizing glimpses of his talent and athleticism and how he could not only contribute but dominate. I often wondered if he actually enjoyed or had any consistent passion about playing. To a lesser degree, I remember wondering the same about Mookie Watkins, another really great quiet kid who seemed to lack passion for the game. I even remember Hop saying what a good kid Roberson was, never caused any problems but that you never could tell if he was listening, paying attention or just tuning you out. A great coach I knew, said that a player had to worry when a coach stopped coaching, criticizing, yelling, teaching because he's then given up on you as not worth his time anymore. Had to be so frustrating. Hope he's doing well. [/QUOTE]
