Reminds me of when people were more excited for Jerian Grant over KP.

Potentially very very good. Or nothing.

OK, saw your Bamba comment. Interesting

Huge, rim protector, three ball.

LOTS of red flags.

Damn, the Sixers picked Bonga. They already have a 6'10" point forward. Maybe NY can trade a future 2nd end for him.

Jonathan Givony on Zach Lowe's draft preview podcast this week raved about him. He said Robinson went head to head with the top bigs in this class in the elite high school competitions a year ago. and often outplayed them.

This draft is a swing for the fences man. Perry took a couple of high upside players that have a lot of development ahead of them and said "here you go Fiz, have fun." These cats have crazy tools to work with. What I need though is to get one more pick before these wings go off the board. GM's are getting cute right now, swoop in and grab one of these guys.

I'll take it!

wonder why he didn't play

Shady situation. He was on campus at Western Kentucky for a like a week but then bailed. Lot of rumors about a pay-off gone wrong. Then there were rumors that he was going back to WKU but it never happened.

He definitely has maturity issues but his HS rank was right in line with all the Top 10 bigs taken tonight. I think he compares the most to Bamba or a more explosive Jaren Jackson.

Feels like we went all in on talent but with questionable head space.

Both... he might be the 2nd or 3rd best 4/5 in this draft, a great new age two way big.... or he could be out of the league in 2 years.

Sounds like the correct risk/reward ratio for a 36 pick

He shoots 3s, he handles the ball, he rebounds, he can pass, he defends, he blocks shots, he's quick enough to guard in space BUT he may be a head case.

He committed to a small school because they hired his uncle as a coach instead of going to a bigger school he had an offer from. They fired his uncle right away and he left school after practicing but not playing so he couldn't transfer to another without sitting out a year.

So, either this is a sign of things to come or just an unfortunate circumstance that cost him some money early on a long NBA career.

That's why he's a 2nd rounder
