When Roberts put it all together offensively in the early 90s and before the injury bug started to really take its toll (and even in spite of that for a while), Roberts was a true impact power forward out there - one of the best in the league for a 4-5 year stretch in an age where Lindros, Neeley, Shanahan, etc. were also in that sort of peer group.

I'm not sure if he would be in my top 7, personally, but him being on other's lists is completely justifiable in my opinion. He was a beast.
