Message: [QUOTE="pfister1, post: 2007685, member: 285"] To the extent that it was a fait accompli, I think that was set up by the make up of the roster and not any personal feelings that JB has for Roberson. JB has demonstrated for the last 40+ years that he would trip your grandmother crossing the street if he thought it would help win a basketball game. I think JB felt he needed something on the offensive end out of Roberson more than he needed defense out of White. Roberson hasn't been able to develop that aspect of his game at all and therefore his playing time has diminished. Add to that that he hasn't seemed this season to do what he is good at with the same effort and tenacity as he has in the past and the impact to his playing time gets compounded. Now, not only does he lose the 35+ mpg role he probably feels he should be getting as a fourth year player, but he is also starting to lose the 20 mpg he seemed to be destined to get this season.
