Glenn Robinson III

Really sucked when he chose to stay. He'd be perfect at 8 for us in this draft. When watching him, he just so much looks like a Piston for some reason.

Maybe next year somehow?

What has he done other then disappear in most games? Definition of overrated. If he didnt go to the University of Michigan we wouldnt even be talking about him. If Robinson III was in this draft and Dumars selected him at 8 then I would hope Gores would fire him instantly.

I think he will end up the best NBA player from that MIchigan team given his age, athletecism, and build.

Thats fair, but im also not high AT ALL on Burke or Hardaway Jr at the NBA level.

Nor am I, but I'm relatively high on Robinson.

I would say that he has the most potential off of anyone on that U of M team but he is definitely a project and one that isnt worth the number 8 pick even in this draft. I might consider him as a late first this year if I was a contending team who could exercise patience in developing him. We need an impactful player at 8.

I'm with Haulerch here. I think he has the most upside out of anyone from that U of M team, great size for a 3, athletic, and shows signs of a nice outside stroke. But, as he stands today, he would have been a project and probably a gamble at #8.

Staying at Michigan, he'll have the opportunity to highlight himself next season, with Monster McGary to clean up his misses. It was probably better for him, in terms of draft stock. He's already being projected as a top 5 pick for 2014. (not that it matters much right now)

I'm a die-hard Michigan fan and Robinson is incredibly overrated. The only thing he does well is jump. Burke spoonfed him the vast majority of his buckets this past season. He has no handle, a shaky jumper, and is mentally weak. He doesn't have great size for a 3 either. Merely average size. He's a late first round type.

Id be wary of taking GR3 at 8 this year, he didn't show me much. the good thing about him going back is that we'll get to see what he can do playing his natural SF position instead of trying to matchup against PFs.

He didn't show me enough this year. Great decision going back to school imho.
