This is a great point ... because until the light goes on for him, we're vulnerable. Any one of the big 3 has an off night, gets in foul trouble or tweaks a knee or elbow .. and we're pretty much SOL. This is a virtual certainty once we start playing the top half of the ACC. However, if we have a FOURTH scorer ... this would make a big difference. You can't expect the Cooney/Gbinije/Christmas magic show to be gleaming every night, and better teams are going to be able to take at least one of those guys out of rhythm. So having Tyler hit just one or two more of his shots per game would make a difference. He and KJ are both averaging about 6-7 ppg. If TR can get to 10 .. with a little better shooting from KJ, we've made up for CM's lost 9 ppg average.

Now ... I'm not saying that Tyler's going to carry us to the sweet 16. We have no bench and are still a WIP at the point. But if Roberson keeps improving at the present rate .. going from flashes to a steady contribution and figuring out the helpside rotations of the zone ... we could surprise some good teams and possibly make the tournament. That's about all, realistically, we can hope for this year.
