Thomas Robinson: Draft Profile

If you use dictionary. com and look up the word Thomas Robinson you will find that the first definition is beast and the second definition is Zach Lisman. Robinson had a dominant season in college basketball and my pal Zach Lisman believes that Robinson deserved the player of the year. Of course my self and the rest of America does not agree with that. He averaged nearly 18 points per game and 11.8 rebounds per game. His highlight games of the season were against divison rival Missouri were Robinson lead them to a victory with 28 points and 12 rebounds also his game against North Dakota was worth noting when he dropped 30 points and snatched 21 rebounds. The game that I was most impressed with him was against UNC, in the Elite Eight. UNC was the one seed and Kansas was the two seed and Robinson made it so that was flipp flopped. Even though he was at a hieght disadvantage against 7 foot tall, Tyler Zeller, he was able to use his speed to get buy him and score or get fouled. The Jayhawks ended up with the victory with the help of Robinson's 18 points and 9 rebounds. This dude has got an NBA body standing at 6 feet 10 inches and 237 pounds of pure muscle. He reminds me a lot of Dwight Howard and a younger Zach Lisman. He is projected to go number 4 overall but I think any team that is mentally stable will draft him earlier whether they need a big man or not. There are teams who are likely to have high draft picks such as the Washington Wizards and the New Orleans Hornets who actually could use a little help down low or just about anywhere. I do not care what ESPN says about Michael Kidd- Gilchrist and Bradley Beal they might be great players but Thomas Robinson is a step above them.
