Before the season started, there were lots of stories coming out about how high Washington basketball’s coaching staff was on redshirt freshman Nate Roberts. The three-star redshirt freshman out of Washington D.C. measures in at 6’10, with a seven-foot plus wingspan. Roberts has clearly come a long way during his two years at UW, and after hearing so much about him in the preseason, you can’t help but wonder, why is he averaging 7.3 minutes per game?
Roberts has played more than ten minutes in a game four times this season, and in two of them, he grabbed his career-high in rebounds, with seven against USC, and then topping it with eight in the next game against Stanford.
