He does seem a lil short to play PF in the NBA

Glad Harrison bounced back in this one... Would feel glad if he slipped to us, assuming we do end up picking fifth. And no way would I pick T-Rob over the wings that are available. There's a real glut of pure 4s in this league, hell, we have a few of them already, T-Rob is just another addition to that group. And on the other hand, players of Barnes' size/skill-set are now scarce.

I will wait for his combine measurement but looking at him on TV, he does appear shorter than 6'10

Millsap also seemed to short to play PF. Robinson is not too short to play PF in the NBA and he has a good 3-4 inches on Millsap. His game will have no problem translating being at least 6'9 in shoes. He wingspan is decent and hes got good hops.

Yeah, but you need to win the lottery. Our current team is the underdog to win any tiebreaking coin toss there might be, let alone a top-3 pick.

Robinson has 18 pts and 7 boards, and Barnes has 12 pts, 2 rebs, 3 ast. Barnes needs to make some more shots.

I know Barnes is the better fit and Robinson the worst but IMO Robinson is clearly a better player. He's pretty impressive

Maybe Barnes is better suited for the pros but he's not very explosive or assertive

Robinson is changing this game

I guess he is 21 which is a factor but still
