Honestly the most embarrassing PR guy of all time. He asks the question and then answers it so the player can just say "most definitely, yes I am tall and I can do those things."

I agree. That's why I don't mind Robbins. He's a nice median between Denton and Bianchi. He's not a complete homer like Denton but he's also not a compete A-hole like Bianchi is but will still ask some tuff questions.


Yes, Robbins is a very good beat reporter. Very pro. Does his job and asks smart questions.

Not sure if you guys knew this but i believe Robbins is the president of some writer's association. He's pretty well respected amongst other journalist.

It makes sense. He is quite good.

I haven't read the article yet, but that's horrible. He used to be so much better that "Florida Today" website, I can't remember the exact name and think it's gone now.

Denton used to be good when he was with Florida Today.

(Mario Herzonja) Unless this kid hits the ground running and helps us win games I just think Vogels will sit him to win games. I want this kid playing 25 minutes and I want him in during crucial moments of the 4th quarter. We must develop this kid.

Vogel has been a coach longer than 1 season. Track record also includes Myles Turner and Paul George. Though he wasnt head coach during George's rookie year (20mpg), he was HC in PG's 2nd year and got nearly 30mpg.

Everything depends on how much Isaac can grasp and handle. No freebie playing time anymore.


What im saying is he will put winning over development. Myles turner helped win. That's why he got burn. I want Issac to get burn regardless. I donf wanna see another jeff green situation

Isaac was held back offensively at FSU because Dwayne Bacon and several upperclassmen kind of did their own thing.

He always came across as very well spoken and mature in his interviews though

I hope he does well in the NBA

Isaac has been lauded as a very high character man. In his press intro, GM Hammond specifically thanked his mother for raising such a mature young man. Iwundu was similarly praised.
