Prospect Profile

When it comes to jumbo shooters, Robinson has emerged as one of the most interesting in this entire draft class. After a season at Texas A&M and Arkansas, his third landing spot was BYU and he’s really emerged in his second season with the Cougars. Despite the years of experience he has at the college level, he is a younger prospect relative to the seasons he’s played.

On ridiculous volume, Robinson has been one of the best 3-point shooters in the entire country this season. He has fantastic form that is repeatable and can rise above defenders with his size and release point. On any given night, he can knock down four of five triples and really be a catalyst for his team. Whether it’s in spot-up situations or creating for himself, Robinson can shoot in a variety of ways. He has decent vision for his position, but isn’t a primary or secondary facilitator. He also will need to prove he can rebound at a higher rate to round out his productivity.

Defensively, he’s flashed upside but should still be considered a prospect that can improve on that end. If he is able to emerge as a defensive playmaker, he could ultimately increase his draft stock as much as anyone when combined with the shooting. With a reported 7-foot wingspan, Robinson can really be switchable at the next level and guard upwards of three or four positions depending on how strong he ends up being.

It took former four-star prospect from Oklahoma four college seasons and three teams to really hit his stride, but Robinson is a legitimate NBA prospect. Especially with his size, a 3-and-D type of role at the NBA level is where he will likely thrive. He’s a late bloomer, but could absolutely have a long NBA career.
