The Bobcats offense has sucked this season. There is no way to sugar coat it. They rank 30th in points per game and 28th in assists per game. It’s been a mess to say the least. A nice surprise for the Bobcats has been McRoberts. McRoberts, a 6’10’’ power forward out of Duke, is enjoying a career year. Throughout his career McRoberts has been mainly a rebounder, but with the free agent signing of Al Jefferson, the 26-year-old had to change his game. Luckily for the Bobcats he did. McRoberts ranks second on the team in assists per game with 4.1. His interior passing has helped move the ball around and find the open lane.
