I think its good value. But i will miss Patterson.
Robinson is a top 5 pick this year.
But i dont understand his allure. He's 6'9 with short wingspan and not particularly jump out of the gym athletic. Whats the appeal?

Robinson had a good stretch when he got some minutes. I wonder how many minutes he will get with this team. We have all rookie PF's, now...

Along with a second-round pick, the Kings will send Francisco Garcia and Tyler Honeycutt to the Rockets, sources tell Y!
Our three point shooting will be missed with Morris and Douglas gone. T-Rob/Dmo better have a decent post up game, it'll be interesting to see how they fit into the offense.

I wanted LVP Austin Rivers and we got Thomas Robinson? WTF?
Honestly, this is a good gamble here. We basically got a long-term project with high upside. Meanwhile this allows the more NBA ready guys like D-Mo and hopefully Terrence Jones to grab more minutes.
Now watch Pat Pat average 10 rpg.

hmm, seems like a good deal for the Rockets. Got a good rebounder.

Thomas Robinson has a very high upside, great kid, from an awful situation.
This opens up minutes for Motiejunas as the floor spacing 4, with Robinson as a high energy reserve. The other option is to start Parsons at the 4, with Delfino at the 3.
CT: Asik/ Smith
PF: Motiejunas/ Robinson/ Jones/ White
SF: Parsons/ Delfino
SG: Harden/ Anderson
PG: Lin/ Beverly
There must be something else to come, the roster is a little lop-sided. Is Motiejunas going to play time at the 5?

robinson was the 5th pick in a stacked draft. i wouldnt consider 6'9 240 undersized, thats good enough. 6'8 is short for pf.
he also has an attitude so we got ourselves a bull dog, dont take **** from nobody, not even ya own mama

he's got great potential
