J. M. Roberts Quotes
NBA people want to see versatility, ... That was one of the things I talked about with coach, just stepping out toward the perimeter more. Rebounding is a great skill, and not too many people realize how hard it is to pull down 10-plus per game for your career -- so that can't go away. The main thing for me is stepping out more, while still taking advantage of my rebounding ability.
