Montana’s do-it-all guard/forward with legit multi-sport grit
Justin Roper is best remembered as a high-motor, versatile guard/forward who helped Montana reach the 2010 NCAA Tournament, with program bios noting he joined the basketball team mid-season and was part of a winning Grizzlies culture. He wasn’t a stats-first star, but his value was in toughness, adaptability, and competitive edge — the kind of glue guy who fits when a team needs intensity, depth, and smart, unselfish play. If you’re looking for a polished lead scorer, he’s not that; if you want a rugged, team-first competitor, that’s exactly his lane.
