Damn, if Robinson is picked 17th I'm gonna be pissed.
 
The thing that scares me about Jerome Robinson is that I'm not sure he can create space in the NBA. He struggled to get space in college. He had a lot of his shot attempts blocked, deflected, stripped as he went to the rim. It's going to be even harder to get space in the NBA.
How many of his shots were blocked, deflected, stripped, etc, in comparison to other NBA prospects? The average ncaa wing?

Did he have some shots blocked, deflected or stripped? no doubt he did. But everybody else did too. What can you show us to help us know whether it was a real issue in comparison to other prospect or payers? Otherwise it seems like an issue you are making up.
 
I like Huerter. But something that I'm somewhat concerned with is his defensive effort and effort on hustle plays. He seems to float on defense a lot in every game I watch. He's reactionary on defense instead of proactive. Sometimes there's a loose ball and he can't be bothered to get on the floor for it. Here's a good vid of what I mean...



As opposed to DiVincenzo who isn't afraid to bulldog the ball handler, fight for a loose ball, go get a rebound (just for a comparison)...


That’s why I really like DD.
 
Maybe I should hop back on the KBD train.

If he actually works out then he’s a perfect fit.

And ‘if he works out’ is a question for all these guys.

His lack of motor concerns me a lot... he reminded me of this guy coming out of florida state 3-4 years ago? Similar length, similar game, both SF ... both a bit stiff and not much motor, ... haven't seen him since he was drafted I think he's already out of the league.

Edit: Ah, it's Chris Singleton.
 
Nothing like Singleton and motor is not an issue with KBD.

People are raising the same concerns about Jerome Robinson that were raised about Jamal Murray at Kentucky:
-- He's not an explosive athlete. What if he can't get by people? What if he can't get space?
-- Can he defend at all?
-- Can he really play on the ball at the next level?

Not to say that these aren't concerns, but every player has concerns. J. Robinson is going to be an 18 - 20-pt scorer. He can play on or off the ball, he can create his own looks, he projects to knock down 37% or so of his 3s. He's the most advanced offensive player in our range.

I think Robinson will do better with NBA spacing than he did in college. He was facing traps and double-teams constantly due to the fact that his team basically sucked. He had to make difficult plays constantly.
