Sacks called Roberson “a poor man’s Kevin Durant.” “I think he’s gotta get stronger,” he said. “He can always improve his ball-handling and his jump shot. But his motor has gotten so much better. He’s playing hard on every play now. He blocks shots, defends on the perimeter. Great passer. Tyler’s very unselfish, he looks to pass first before he looks to score first. Maybe he needs to turn that around with maturity, and when he does you’re going to have something really special.” Boff conceded that Kidd-Gilchrist and Roberson aren’t exactly similar, but share some traits in common. “I think most schools right now are recruiting Tyler as a pure wing, not so much like a step-out four man but more a guy who’s going to be facing the basket at all times,” Boff said. “And I think that would probably be the main difference. “The similarity is they both work hard, they both have a desire to win. And that’s what drives what they do. And from what I gather I don’t think either has any sense of entitlement. They both just come out and work as hard as they can work every day.”
