McRoberts
was brought in to mentor Cody Zeller and be an emergency front court
man with the addition of Al Jefferson, not lead the team in scoring
the first game. Aside from Kemba Walker, the Bobcats have a rough time
getting good separation from the opposing defense. Somehow, someway,
McRoberts finds a way to thread the ball to anyone on the court, this
is where his importance comes in. With a young team, the players are
bound to make mistakes in their rotation around the court, but, when
McRoberts is on the floor his quick thinking leads to him putting the
ball perfectly where it needs to be, something that a young team needs. With Josh compensating for their mistakes, it gives the young
guys more experience to get touches and continue their current play.

The
Bobcats are one of the smaller teams in the league, no one has played
as big early this season as McRoberts who seems to have worked on his
rebounding in the offseason. With the absence of Jefferson in
game two, no one created as much havoc under the rim as McRoberts,
allowing himself or his teammates to come down with the boards. The
guy plain-and-simply has been playing his heart out these first few
games. All aspects of his game will be felt throughout the season as
he comes off the bench when Jefferson returns, and a fresh McRoberts
is a scary thought for opposing teams.
Not
only has his scoring and rebounding been a big surprise, but the man
makes trouble for anyone who dares to enter his side of the court. He
fights for the steal. He fights for the block. He fights to create
havoc. He fights for the win. Be on the lookout for the Bobcats
unsung hero through the season, he'll fight to be noticed.
