Memphis, Tennessee, February 2, 2006 — Memphis Grizzlies President of Basketball Operations Jerry West announced today the team has assigned forward Lawrence Roberts and guard Anthony Roberson to the Arkansas RimRockers of the NBA Development League. Arkansas is the Grizzlies’ D-League affiliate.
Roberts averaged 1.5 points, 1.4 rebounds and 0.1 assists in 24 games with the Grizzlies. He set career-highs in points (eight), rebounds (five) and minutes (18) on Nov. 9 at Boston. Originally selected 55th overall by the Seattle SuperSonics in the 2005 Draft, he was acquired by the Grizzlies from Seattle in exchange for two future second round draft picks and cash considerations.
Roberson, 6-2, 180-pounds, was signed by the Grizzlies as a free agent on August 18. The rookie from Florida averaged 1.6 points, 0.5 rebounds and 0.4 assists in 10 games with the Grizzlies.
Great. Now we'll see what they're capable of against similar competition.
Why dont we send Warrick to the the developmental league as well. Hes only averaging 9 minutes a game.
I think you can only send two down at a time.
No real rush with Warrick, now that Cardinal's going strong again. His mpg are skewed, like most rookies, because he didn't play much at all at the beginning of the year. Later, he was doing alright in limited minutes. Just really turnover prone.
Roberts, Roberson sent to NBDL
