This thread will be open at the conclusion of the season.

If he measures at 6'10, I'm sure people will be a lot more keen on him. Solid prospect, if he's available and barring a major slip up in the top 4, no doubt we would select him. But a lot could change between now and draft night. I'm sure after the workouts our organization will have a much better idea of what some of these guys are capable of.

[Marlo Stanfield]

T-Rob is a MONSTER but I'll wait until the lottery before I comment on him since he'll likely be gone by the time we pick if things stay the way they are now.

[JustLucky]

It aint a match thats gonna happen if we draft him expect a trade

[God Squad]

I want him. He's a beast.

[God Squad]

Just not in our range. So I'd look at other prospects until lottery

[DA_SCOUT]

stud, but not available at our position. If he was at say 5 (HIGHLY DOUBT IT) and we get the 5th pick from the lottery, you'd have to believe BC would take him based on BPA alone.

We can only end up with picks 1-3 and 8-11 from the lottery. The lottery only determines the first 3 picks then it goes by record

[jigga_man]

I wouldn't be surprised if he goes 2, no chance in hell unless we get in the top 3.

[dballislife]

6'9 max with an avg frame and athleticism, nothing about him will stand out at next level therefore hes gonna need to be very skilled

After Davis, Robinson is coach Casey's Guy

He's exactly the type of post player he loves

Aggressive
Physical
Hustle
Rebounds
Scores in the post
Always gives 100%

He would be a great long term pairing with Jonas

He's probably ly the most NBA ready of all the guys in the lottery

[andyo]

He was dominant in college for sure, I just don't feel he has the skill or talent for that to translate into the NBA, he won't be nearly as physically imposing for one.

While I agree with all the attributes I actually think Casey would like MKG moreso....for a few reasons

1. I don't think TRob is going to be able to bully PFs in the NBA they way he did in the NCAA
2. Which is kinda part of 1...he's got average to below average size at PF
3. MKG is more well known as a leader which the team sorely needs
4. MKG fits a NEED at SF
5. BC is not giving up on Bargnani and tbh I think Casey likes him too since he already knows a certain bball scheme that can work with him like it did Dirk (not that AB is on his level)

The thing that really is craziest to me is how low Sullinger's stock is yet their numbers aren't miles apart and I would argue that JS is actually craftier than TRob....that doesn't mean I think he will be better than TRob BUT it's crazy how one guy is considered top 4 in the draft and the other is clinging to stay in the top 10 at all. Bottomline is we won't be in position to get TRob (even though I think he drops to 4-6th overall come draft night) but at the same time I also don't see BC drafting him when apparently he already raved about MKG who fits the bill of a "Casey player" and then some.
