Thomas Robinson is 6’10″ with a 7’1″ wingspan and averaged 17.7 points and 11.9 rebounds for Kansas this year. Offensively he ranked in the 75th percentile among all college players, The departure of the Morris twins to the NBA last summer allowed Robinson to step into a starting role, where he was as dominant as any front court player in the college ranks. He loves to play in the post, where he scored 33 percent of this points this season, but is also exceptionally good at cutting to the basket, getting offensive rebounds and put-backs and will run the floor and finish in transition. He lacks court vision and passing ability at this stage of his development, so don’t look for him to be someone who draws a double-team and then kicks it out. He’ll use his size and quickness to overpower opponents and put the ball in the hole.
Robinson should also be a game-changer on the defensive end, especially after spending three seasons playing under the defensive-minded Bill Self. Robinson ranked in the 98th percentile in defending the pick-and-roll, 83rd percentile in defending the low post, 79th percentile in spot-up defense and 79th in fighting through screens to prevent scores. He’s quick enough to stay with the finesse power forwards like Dirk Nowitzki and Andrea Bargnani, but also powerful enough to hold down physical post players like Amar’e Stoudemire and Pau Gasol.
