High school career

Roberson attended Karen Wagner High School on the outskirts of San Antonio. During his senior year, he averaged 15 points, 12 rebounds and 1.7 blocked shots per game.[1] Considered a three-star recruit by ESPN.com, Roberson was listed as the No. 62 power forward in the nation in 2010.[2]

College career

Roberson played for the Colorado Buffaloes under coach Tad Boyle. In his three seasons at CU, Roberson was one of the country’s top rebounders, finishing third in the country in 2011–12 and second in 2012–13. He led the Buffaloes to the NCAA Tournament both years.[1] As a junior in 2012–13, Roberson averaged 10.9 points and 11.2 rebounds per game. He was named first-team All-Pac-12 and the conference Defensive Player of the Year.[3] At the end of his junior season, Roberson declared his eligibility for the 2013 NBA draft.[4]

Roberson was selected with the 26th overall pick in the 2013 NBA draft by the Minnesota Timberwolves, but was later acquired by the Oklahoma City Thunder on draft night.[5] On July 12, he signed with the Thunder after an impressive Summer League performance.[6] During his rookie season, he had multiple assignments with the Tulsa 66ers of the NBA Development League.[7]

In July 2014, Roberson re-joined the Thunder for the 2014 NBA Summer League.[8] On October 22, 2014, the Thunder exercised their third-year team option on Roberson’s rookie scale contract, extending the contract through the 2015–16 season.[9] Earning the Thunder’s starting shooting guard spot for the 2014–15 season, Roberson recorded his first career double-double (10 points, 12 rebounds) on December 18 against the Golden State Warriors,[10] and scored a then career-high 12 points on February 9 against the Denver Nuggets.[11]

On October 23, 2015, the Thunder exercised their fourth-year team option on Roberson’s rookie scale contract, extending the contract through the 2016–17 season.[12] He retained the starting shooting guard spot in 2015–16, and on December 23, he scored a then career-high 15 points in a 120–85 win over the Los Angeles Lakers.[13] On January 25, 2016, he was ruled out for three weeks with a right knee sprain.[14] He returned to action on February 24 after missing 10 games.[15] In Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals, Roberson scored a career-high 17 points and grabbed 12 rebounds, as the Thunder defeated the Golden State Warriors 118–94 to take a 3–1 lead in the series.[16] The Thunder went on to lose the series in seven games.

Roberson was moved to the starting small forward spot for the 2016–17 season due to the loss of Kevin Durant and the acquisition of Victor Oladipo.[17] On February 24, 2017, he set a new career high with 19 points in a 110–93 win over the Los Angeles Lakers.[18] At the season’s end, Roberson was named to the NBA All-Defensive Second Team.[19]

On July 14, 2017, Roberson re-signed with the Thunder to a three-year, $30 million contract.[20][21] After missing eight games in January 2018 with left patellar tendinitis,[22] Roberson ruptured his left patellar tendon on January 27 against the Detroit Pistons.[23] He underwent surgery the following day and was subsequently ruled out for the rest of the season.[24]

On October 4, 2018, Roberson was ruled out for an additional two months after undergoing a procedure following a setback during his rehab from left knee surgery.[25] In late November, Roberson experienced discomfort after landing from a jump, and an MRI revealed that he had suffered a small avulsion fracture in his knee. He was subsequently ruled out for at least another six weeks.[26]

Jordan Clarkson

After foregoing his senior year in college to enter the 2014 NBA draft, Jordan Clarkson was selected by the Washington Wizards with the No. 46 overall pick and was immediately traded to the Los Angeles Lakers. In his first year, he was named to the NBA All-Rookie First Team, a rarity for a second round pick. Clarkson was traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2018 and then to the Utah Jazz in 2019. Clarkson averaged a career-high 16.8 points per game for the Cavs during the 2018-19 season, and he scored a career-best 42 points on February 13, 2019 against the Brooklyn Nets. Clarkson is Filipino-American and has dual citizenship with the Philippines and the United States. He competed with the Philippines national team at the 2018 Asian Games, where he averaged 26 points per game and led the Philippines to a fifth-place finish, its best in 16 years.

CJ Bobbitt

Class of 2015 and attended Harker Heights High School

Originally signed with University of Denver left after Sophomore season to join the New Mexico State Aggies.  The first year they won 30 games and won the WAC Tourney Advancing to the NCAA Tourney.  They lost to Clemson in the 1st round.

My High School was filled with many successful seasons at Harker Heights!  I graduated in 2015 and there was no doubt that I was more than ready for  anything that any coach on the next level could throw at him!  You see, my high school coach was hard on me on and off the court!  He was won over 400 high school games and happens to my dad so you know how the conversations were after every game and practice.  I thank him for that tough love…

I managed to get an INDIVIDUALIZED STUDIES DEGREE.  My last college season, we were 16-0 in the WAC and looking to have a good ride in the NCAA tourney but the COVID-19 cut the season short!  I started preparing for a possible career overseas when I tore my Achilles, so I’m currently rehabilitating so I continue to follow my dream of playing professionally.

My AAU EXPERIENCES with ASAK NATION were unforgettable!  The games, the traveling, my teammates and coaches all helped prepare me to be the man that I am today!  Adversity ain’t nothing to deal with now, thanks to all of you.

DARIUS McBRIDE

Darius was the consummate hard worker.  He got better from day one until the last day of the season.  He was relentless goin to the hole and finished and rebounded fearlessly.  Darius spent extra hours working to improve his shot and footwork which led him to the next level.  He was the guy his teammates looked to for the big play and he usually responded.                                                                   “ASAK COACH Mike Murphy”

In the 2018 George McClellan Invitational, Darius lead ASAK to the The Tournament Championship Win and took home the Tournament MVP Honor.

Darius attended Austin Westlake High School.

Coach Robert Lucero said “Darius was one of the easiest guys to coach that has come through Westlake.  He is low maintenance and and extremely hard worker.  As a player he was relentless at attacking the rim and getting to the foul line. In the classroom he is one of the best students we have had in the program. We are all lucky to have been around him and we look forward to seeing him continue to play at SMU.”

Darius received a full ride to Southern Methodist University where he was excepted into the prestigious Cox School of Business. He is majoring in Business Finance.
