NBA Draft Scouting 2002

45. Rolan Roberts

S. Illinois 6'7" 241 PF - SR.

This guy is built like a Mack Truck. Long arms, thick frame, and athleticism make him a good defender. ...Can't shoot much from the outside but doesn't take bad shots. He does have a nice jump, flip, hook, around the hoop. The fours he matches up with can't keep up with his quickness. Blocks shots at a high rate. He is 23 years old. Transferred from Virginia Tech, after being suspended from the team. His wingspan is 7'1". ...Roberts posted 24 points on 11-16 shooting vs. Emeka Okafor and UConn in the NCAA tourney.
