In July, Brian Roberts’ stellar play on the New Orleans Hornets’ summer league team earned him a roster spot for training camp. In Sunday’s preseason opener in Mexico City against the Orlando Magic, Roberts showed why he might be worth keeping around for the entire season.

Roberts, a backup point guard, sparked the Hornets by scoring 12 of his game-high 17 points in the fourth quarter to lead the Hornets to an 85-80 come-from-behind victory against the Magic.
