McRoberts (right knee) participated in player-organized practices this week, the Miami Herald reports. "Medically I'm in a good spot and I'm especially excited with our new additions," McRoberts said.

EDGE Analysis

McRoberts tore the meniscus in his right knee in December and had to undergo season-ending surgery. Originally slotted to start at power forward last season, he was plagued by a return from toe surgery at the beginning of last season before suffering the knee injury. With the Bobcats (now Hornets) in 2013-14, McBob started 78 games and averaged 8.5 points, 1.3 three-pointers, 4.8 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 0.7 steals, and 0.6 blocks in 30 minutes per game. He's great at being good at everything, and that's where McRoberts' value lies, but he needs to put up good across-the-board production, because he's not particularly great at any one thing. The sum is greater than the parts. Even if McRoberts gets healthy in time for the start of the season, he's destined for a bench role behind Chris Bosh and Hassan Whiteside, and if the team goes small, McRoberts could be squeezed further down the rotation.
