Stanley Corvet Roberts (born February 7, 1970 in Hopkins, South Carolina) is a former American professional basketball player who was selected by the Orlando Magic in the 1st round (23rd overall) of the 1991 NBA Draft. A 7'0", 285 lbs. center from LSU, Roberts played for the Magic, Los Angeles Clippers, Minnesota Timberwolves, Houston Rockets and Philadelphia 76ers in eight NBA seasons from 1991 to 1999. His best year as a pro came during his second year with the Clippers, when he appeared in 77 games and averaged 11.3 ppg.
He missed all but 14 games in the 1993-94 season, then all of the next season, due to an Achilles tendon injury, first in one leg, then the other. Amazingly, he still bounced back for three more respectable seasons.
As a member of the 76ers in 1999, Roberts was banned by the NBA for drug violations.
