Roberts has appeared in just two of the Hornets’ four games thus far, averaging 3.5 points over 9.5 minutes per contest.

Roberts saw six minutes of action in Monday’s 130-105 win over the Bulls, but the large margin of victory likely had much to do with his presence on the court. The offseason addition of Jeremy Lin has bumped Roberts down to third on the Hornets’ depth chart at point guard, leaving him with little room to carve out much of a role in coach Steve Clifford’s rotation.
