Thomas Robinson
Kansas – Junior (Born 1991)
Power Forward
6’10” 240lbs
The Good:
– great size for an NBA power forward
– strong and athletic
– 7’1″ wingspan
– big game experience
– terrific rebounder
– great quickness for a player his size
– improving post up game
– hard worker
– nice intangibles
– great leader
The Bad:
– despite spending three years in college, only played significant minutes his junior season
– poor jump shooter
– is two years older than many of the other top draft prospects
– questions regarding his height – might only by 6’8″
– upside?
NBA Comparison:
David West, Kris Humphries – potential All-Star/very solid player
The Skinny:
As was hoped, Thomas Robinson had a breakout junior season and led the Jayhawks to the NCAA title game. However, being two years older than many of the other top prospects makes his potential upside slightly lower. Worse case scenario he should have a solid NBA career (rebounding tends to translate the best from college to the NBA, and Robinson is a great rebounder), with the potential to be much more.
