He's more important than Tyler Lydon?  Not even close.  I mean, your post has to be intended to stir the pot. In fact, I'd probably list Roberson as maybe the 4th or 5th most important player.  Roberson only plays one position.  Only does one thing well.  Granted his rebounding skills are extremely important.

And your last sentence makes no sense.  Why are we relying on guards to get rebounds? Last time I checked, we have our deepest front court in years.  We also have other great rebounders, including Lydon, Coleman and White.  Heck, even Thompson and Moyer, though they will not probably not play much, even though they are capable.  I will add that tall guard Tyus Battle is a very good rebounder, though we won't be relying on that, since we have those other guys, and, yes, Roberson.

I'd hate to rank our players in terms of importance because everyone is important, but Roberson is far from indispensable.   His rebounding is a huge plus for us and he's among the best in the nation, especially when he's giving max effort.
