Junior Robinson? 

Post#1 » by pacehawk » Tue Jun 26, 2018 3:16 am

Well, if the rumor I just read is true then the talk about Trae Young being too short may not be true! Apparently, the Hawks just signed 5'5" Junior Robinson. And, I have to admit that his highlights look really good! He seems to be a remarkable player but I am not sure he will be able to overcome the heighth issue. But, I think they said the same thing to Spud Webb!

Well, I guess the Hawks just signed (Assigned) him to their Summer League. He should be an exciting player to watch this summer!

His highlights better look good if he's 5'5. This isn't exactly the sport to be playing at that height.

:D

Yes! He's great! If he was a foot taller he would have been in the top 10 of the draft.

Excited to watch him in summer league. Hope he makes the Hawks team!!!

We'll see what he can do during the summer league.

Did I read somewhere that Robinson scored 20 points last night for the Hawks? I know his chances of making the Hawks Final Roster is VERY, VERY Slim (Kind of the same odds of me winning the Lottery and I don't play the Lottery) but I am definitely rooting for him!

He did. Last SL league, he was hitting from all over the floor, driving in the paint and scoring.

Read on Twitter


Maybe he catches on with our GL Team.

Junior Robinson is a pro level talent despite his size. The Hawks aren't winning anything next season so I don't see the harm of having him on the G League roster.

I think he would be nice in the G-League or even as a 3rd pg if we can move Dennis.

Jaylen Adams would more than likely get the 3rd PG spot.

Great game by him.
Hawks had been a huge underdog in the game and we won.

Just scored 47 pts in only 30 min in his first (oficial) game as a pro. Not bad.
He plays for Araberry in the spanish 2nd division.

If you want to try to measure the elements of basketball that are supposedly unmeasurable, spend a game just watching Marc Gasol.
