Northwestern State commit Roberts is bringing plenty of toughness with her to Louisiana. Her explosive first step allows her to turn the corner and attack the basket, but defenders have to respect her perimeter game as well. Roberts can heat up quickly from the outside, knocking down shots with a smooth, consistent long-range jumper. Her ability to threaten defenses both off the bounce and beyond the arc makes her a difficult matchup and a valuable offensive weapon at the next level.

Roberts is explosive yet shifty, and being a guard who can play both the 1 and the 2, as well as drop the 3, even 4 after contact, she has given defenders problems for years see evaluations here One of her biggest assets is her court vision, in the set, as well as in transition and seeing her “on the ball” pressure create turnovers is yet another plus

Roberts simply finds ways to be relevant in whatever system or role she plays, and seeing her effectively run both the 1 and the 2 over the years paints a picture, see evaluations here. There are so many intangibles to choose from, so let me drop her explosiveness off the dribble, as well as her threading the needle from 25 feet for assists, but her “on the ball” pressure has shot up as well

Roberts can hurt opposing teams in so many ways because she reads the floor and plays the passing lane very well, but seeing what she does afterward in the open court has always JUST DID IT for me. She can hit teammates in traffic from 20 feet away, court vision across the board looks good, yet she’s another “long and athletic” guard who can score multiple ways, including finishing acrobatically. Her “on the ball” pressure is sold, and she’s “vocal on the court” see evaluations here

Roberts is a two-way player that plays with a great intensity. A real pesky defender that is chaos to the ball handler forcing turnovers or ripping the ball out of their possession. Runs the floor well and understands how to find open space to get in scoring position.

Roberts has been fun to watch since I first caught her what seems like eons ago, and her shiftiness with the ball, coupled with her explosiveness off the dribble, keeps the defender guessing, but her court vision in transition, along with her baseline-to-baseline pressure, was solid. Stop and pop jumper looked good, and she scored off the dribble

Roberts falls into that “left a lasting first impression” years ago and when I say something will happen, it does. She goes by defenders in transition by adding that extra gear yet that also works in the set and watching her finish after contact acrobatically is another plus. Her midrange, playing the passing lane as well as seeing the floor were all solid, along with her defense.
