Thomas Robinson is a 6'9" Junior PF from Kansas University

Standing next to 7'0" Jeff Withey after the NC State game, Robinson looked 4"-5" shorter, in my humble opinion. He looked only a few inches taller than 6'4" Craig Sager. Not a good sign....

Love his build and incredible rebounding numbers though. Looking forward to the official measurements.

Athletic Freak.....he relies on his athleticism alot to score....reminds me of a more athletic jj hickson

I think Robinson has the most to lose during the combine measurements. If he measures out in the 6'6"-6'7" barefoot range, it'll be more difficult to justify him going #2

don't want with a top 5 pick.

what range does Thomas Robinson have on his jumper and
Kevin Love measured out reasonably well—6-9 ½ in shoes (6-7 ¾ without), with a 6-11 ¼ wingspan and an 8-10 standing reach. His body fat is still very high at 12.9%, but in the combine he jumped 35 inches, lifted the 185 bar 18 times, and ran very well (11.17, 3.22)

If he turns out to be Kevin Love size or just below with longer wingspan i'd be happy he'd be a great tweener forward and he could learn from Jamison if it's true that he's coming here in the off season.

I had a dream that we drafted Robinson last night with the 3rd pick. If this happens in June someone remind me of this post!

Looking at the stats, he almost never takes or makes a 3 pointer. Love was comfortably nailing 3's right out of high school. Kevin is extremely rare in his total comfort and ease executing a long perimeter face up game despite being a physically strong 4.

Robinson should be a solid rebounder at the least. I'd be a little more tempted if he measured with a 9 foot reach and 7'1 wingspan. I think we want a wider skill set in the top 4 picks though.......

in one of the tournament games i watched him swish a top of the key 3 like it was nothing, but that same game i watched him airball a baseline jumper from about 15.

i like his hustle and hard work, i think he'll find his place in the league, but he seems like he's more of a complimentary piece than a building block.
