Additional notes on Isaiah Roby: via Sports Illustrated's Inside the Spurs (Oct 2022)

Roby has impressed the Spurs during training camp. His versatility at 6-foot-8 has stood out. He has a combination of size, athleticism, and coordination that Spurs coach Gregg Popovich quickly noticed. "He is really more skilled than I was expecting, and he's a little bigger than I expected," Popovich said. "He moves well, really well for his size, and he has good athleticism – coordinated athleticism."
The 6-foot-8 Roby played almost as many minutes at center as he did at power forward last season with the Oklahoma City Thunder. The experience has made him confidence in his abilities to guard all five positions.
Roby sees his ideal position is probably playing the power forward position. He can utilize his switching ability, take advantage of mismatches, and push the ball on the break. "Probably 4, I think a switching 4 who can switch onto all different types of guards defensively, and offensively exploit mismatches and push the ball up the break when I get a rebound," Roby said.
