"He’s one those point guards who can score," Bacon said. "Allen Iverson comes to mind. He’s athletic and go up and dunk it. Very quick, quick crossover, good handles. He can also knock down the 3 and shoot the ball. He’s got a good left and right hand going to the basket. So he’s pretty ambidextrous when it comes to that. He’s fast enough to guard anybody. Sometimes I have to help him remember he has to do a little more of that."

Roberts averaged 14.8 points and 2.4 assists as a sophomore.

"Mizzou is such a great fit for my family and me,” Roberts said. “We all feel so comfortable with the coaching staff, the players there and what the school can offer me. The coaching staff is an outstanding group of guys, on and off the court. I can tell they are knowledgeable about basketball, but everything else too. Coach Anderson wants to prepare you for life and what happens when the basketball stops bouncing.”

“When I saw Mizzou’s campus for the first time, I was shocked,” he added. “I had no idea Mizzou was that big and beautiful. I ended up really, really liking it. Walking around campus, I saw so many chances for me to be involved. I hope Mizzou fans will think I’m a cool dude, a good person and someone they can rely on. I can’t wait to get to Mizzou.”
