Isaiah Roby News
San Antonio Spurs power forward Isaiah Roby has impressed the team's coaching staff in training camp. Head coach Gregg Popovich mentioned that Roby moves really well for a big man and has good athleticism. The 24-year-old could find himself with legitimate playing time in San Antonio. This team is rebuilding, which means Roby should have a decent role to begin the season. Jakob Poeltl is the starter, but he could be on the trade block as well. Roby could find himself competing with Zach Collins for backup minutes right away.
The Oklahoma City Thunder have exercised their team option worth $1.9 million on forward/center Isaiah Roby. The 24-year-old will be back in Oklahoma City for the fourth consecutive season in 2022-23. Roby has shown some promising flashes when given the playing time over the past few years. He scored a career-high 30 points in an overtime win against the Portland Trail Blazers this past March. He also compiled eight rebounds, four three-pointers, four assists, two blocks and two steals in the contest. His outlook for playing time isn't as strong going into this next year now that the team has brought in Chet Holmgren, but Roby is still someone to keep an eye on as he has a very fantasy-friendly game.
Oklahoma City Thunder center Isaiah Roby led the charge during Monday's win over Portland, compiling a career-best 30 points on an elite 11-for-13 shooting performance. Roby, who shot just 29.4% from three last season, has flipped the script on his outside game this year, knocking down triples at a 44.3% rate. He went 4-for-5 from behind the arc against the Blazers en route to his third straight contest scoring in double figures. In addition to the scoring production, Roby added eight rebounds, four assists, two steals, and two blocks, compiling the best all-around performance of his young career. OKC figures to be a unit in flux over its final seven games, but Roby could stand to be the most appealing DFS asset if widespread injuries persist.
Oklahoma City Thunder forward Isaiah Roby (back) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He dropped 21 points and 10 rebounds on Friday, but missed action after that. Hopefully this lingering back issue won't cause him to miss anymore time. Fantasy managers in deep leagues should consider streaming Roby, assuming he's back on Tuesday. Otherwise, Darius Bazley, Vit Krejci, and Aaron Wiggins should continue seeing significant minutes. Both Bazley and Wiggins have seen bigger roles in OKC lately, but have limited value.
