Impact Roby picked up his third consecutive start Wednesday, and after posting some quality defensive production in the first two contests but little to go along with it, the 24-year-old stepped up with a more bountiful stat line against the Spurs. Though he fits the rebuilding Thunder's developmental timeline better than veteran centers Derrick Favors and Mike Muscala (ankle), Roby's playing time and production could have some volatility even if Oklahoma City elects to keep him in the starting five coming out of the All-Star break. Roby has flashed enough upside to make for a worthy flier in 12-team leagues and deeper, but fantasy managers should temper expectations and shouldn't hesitate to cut him loose if his playing time and statistical output starts to trend down when Oklahoma City opens its second-half slate.
