I'll start it off - Thomas Robinson has an amazing skill set for a guy of his size. Didn't realize he was so fast and had such good handles...also didn't realize he has elite court vision(for a big at least). That being said he is coughing the ball up a lot(mostly because Jimmer doesn't even want to try to take on the press) and has had many poor offensive possessions getting himself up and under the the basket with nowhere to go. His body language was bad at times too but that's understandable because they are getting whooped by 20+ points, he has had a poor game, and oh ya, he plays on the Kings.
LOVE -- Donuts, Lamb, Jones, Ross, Klay Thompson, Beal STILL LIKE -- the Jimmer, Robinson, White SHRUG -- Kemba HATE -- Marcus Morris, Fortson
One other note - if Robinson and Boogie Cousins ever figure it out, they could DOMINATE the league playing together. That's a huge if, but if Sacramento can mold them(even huger if) than they will have scored not one but two of the best bigs to come out of the draft since Dwight Howard.
Ya, that was a fairly testy interview. I like guys who hate to lose - I just hope he doesn't lose his confidence. He felt like he should have been the #1 pick, and then he loses by 40 to the #2 pick after turning over the ball 8 times. That has to be eating at him. Hopefully he is the type that turns that into a positive. ...for what it's worth, I didn't think he played that poorly for his first game. half of those turnovers are on his coach for not adjusting and putting another guy there to break the press. Robinson has good handles for a big, but asking him to break a MKG/Kemba press is a little unfair.
Seems you didn't watch Orlando Summer League? He was good and showed touch, ball-iq, motor. solid career backup: Sullinger Shengelia looked really solid and seems to have the whole package(passing, shooting, rebounding, post) but has to learn when to slow down, rushed on transition. Same with Tyshawn Taylor, Brooklyn has two solid guys in the making. Stephenson looked good and seems to improve, expect morefrom him this season. Plumlee had a good outing, can provide minutes for his team. Other good guys: Christmas, Nicholson, Wayns, Buycks.
Rookies - Sullinger, PlumLee, Nicholson had good games. Shame Perry Jones went down early. Others - Al Thornton might be making a come back. Daye and Lance Stephenson had good games too. Cole Aldrich seems to be a waste. Looking forward to the rest of summer league
