Spoiler alert: Roberson will never be a good free throw or three point shooter. The sooner you accept that the more you can focus on how his elite defense results in him helping the team tremendously. Almost all advanced stats suggest that despite his shooting, Robes helps OKC win games. He's almost always in OKC's most effective lineups. And he fits especially well on this reconstructed team as a defensive stopper.

Hopefully, Donovan can figure out ways to use Roberson to slash to the basket more, not just stand still around the three point line. This may be more doable with so many competent three point shooters added to the roster in Melo, PG3, and Patterson. Even Felton and, if he makes the team, Isaiah Canaan, would be a big upgrade from three (D-Wade or Semaj would not).

And, I promise you all, Roberson works on his free throws non-stop. It's not a work ethic issue and hard work may not result in any improvements. Roberson is not the first player to have this problem.

Having said all that, he's one of the top 3 wing defenders on planet earth. His versatility, speed, and intelligence are off the charts. If you focus on Roberson's tremendous defensive talents instead of his weaknesses, you'll enjoy watching him more.
