Overview

A raw talent with big time natural ability. He has upside as a shot blocker and the type of length that scouts love but might not have the intangibles to reach his athletic potential.

Strengths
Robinson is a unique physical specimen, with lots of raw ability and high upside. Although he’s a long ways from being NBA ready, his length and above-the-rim ability are intriguing and could make him a first round pick based on upside.

He projects as a solid rim protector who will earn his money by defending the paint. He has a quick first and second jump and gets above the rim with ease.

Robinson’s athletic ability really shows itself in transition where he changes ends quickly and can be an asset on the fast break.

On offense he shows flashes of scoring ability and has decent range on his jumper. He puts good rotation on the ball and could develop into a three point threat.

Weaknesses
Very raw and still figuring out how to turn his natural ability into production on the court.

Is a bit clumsy with the ball and turnover prone.

Lacks lower body strength and is not a natural power player.

Does he have all the intangibles – the desire, work ethic, basketball I.Q.?

Comparisons
Hassan Whiteside.
