— Dallas Mavericks (@dallasmavs) June 21, 2019NBADraft.net's player profile: Isaiah Roby is a high level defender who should be able to guard 3 positions in the NBA ... He's blessed with high level length, and athletic ability to go with a nice overall feel for the game (especially on defense) ... He's versatile enough on offense to be a positive impact on that side of the ball as a transition player and distributor, but his limitations as a shooter and scorer may directly affect how much burn he can get early in his career, which may ultimately impact his staying power. That being said, if he can become a respectable three point shooter, he could be a really nice piece to a team as a three and D wing.
