Wall is out if you didn't know.
Roberson is fabulous on defense. Most that follow the sport closely are aware of him. What has changed is that on offense he was no longer standing in the corner on offense where he can't shoot. He was moving, cutting the basket, back cutting for alley oops, and hitting the boards. He was still a bit of a liability on offense (especially because he is awful at FTs) but nowhere near as bad as he had been in past years. His pluses on defense far outweighed the minuses on offense. It is a big loss for sure, especially against the top teams where his skill set was most effective, guarding star players.
I do think Presti will make some type of move soon to bolster the defense. Plugging in a rookie like Ferguson, promising as he may be, isn't going to cut it in the playoffs.
