Roberts almost lost us the game by himself tonight.

Rivers wasn't a trainwreck against lilliard and can knock down a 3 every now and then.

Sure. Would rather DC back. Trade to his daddy's team for DC.

Roberts is going nowhere fast. At least Rivers could potentially improve.

Brian will eventually lose his spot this season when EJ is back and morrow regains his confidence..Austin is so solid on d compared to him

Roberts wasn't bad early in the game, 1st half. But he had no reason to be on the court to start the 4th quarter.

I guess Monty will keep deploying both until there is a clearer best option...just feel like if we are keeping Austin, we may as well give him more mins than mr. Expiring Brian

It seems like Monty keeps putting Roberts in to match the other smaller quick guards.

I agree Roberts did better in the 1st half.

But why match the other team smaller guard with a smaller guard. Rivers is bigger and for the most part just as quick.

I feel Rivers will continue to improve if he is given a chance, he is only 20

Yes, it is time to see what Rivers can or cannot do. Roberts seems to have lost his scoring magic.

Rivers plays out of control at times.

Roberts just kills me though. I see no upside, none.

If Roberts is going to get the minutes, he needs to be playing the role Morrow would play. With Tyreke and Jrue, there should never be a time where Roberts is initiating our offense, especially in the 4th. He gets way to deep into the clock and normally relies on the easy pass to the midrange jumpers or other wing players.

I could see why Monty would want his quickness and shooting, but his role is confusing at best.

42 needs to lecture Monty on confirmation bias. How Monty thought BR played well last night is beyond me.
