It’s towards the bottom.  Idk which is stupider, Robinson at 15 or Tyshawn Taylor at 30

A true 6-9 PF with a near Karl Malone-like frame and explosive leaping ability who made enormous strides in every area to average 18 and 12 and will his team to the national title game?

The first 14 teams must have a lot of talent coming their way

[Seamo15Participant]

 Can only imagine that’s been done to draw attention to his draft. Any bet that his final mock won’t have the same attention seeking garbage .

[sheltwon3Participant]

If he is 6’10 than he is not undersized and he should be a top 7 pick at worst in this draft.

I am waiting on the combine to further adjust my mock draft because a few people will rise up.

[GlenTaylorSucksParticipant]

I talked about something like this in a thread the other day, when I saw that he was absolutely agonizing over whether Royce White or Meyers Leonard was his 5th best prospect, and had MKG rated similarly to T-Rob. The people at ESPN make me sad. Those with legitimate knowledge of sports (I really like Mike Wilbon, for example) are drowned out by the blabbering idiots like Gottlieb and Skip Bayless- sometimes I’m amazed they’re even capable of putting their clothes on in the morning, let alone be on TV.

[DolanCareParticipant]

Gottlieb has always been a guy that’s obsessed with ‘upside’ and ‘potential’. He will always rate someone higher if they appear to have a high-ceiling. On Sports Center he mentioned Meyers Leonard as a top-ten talent in this draft.

I also remember that he was big on Julian Wright when he came out. He likes flash and athleticism.

not really

[417basketballfanParticipant]

 maybe gottlieb doesn’t like ku since he is a ok st alumni. actually he prolly has nightmares from when he played at ku and he played the first 5 minutes of the game with his shorts on backwards and the crowd chanted "shorts on backwards"lol regardless its just stupid not to have him in the lottery let alone a top 5 player

[apb540Participant]

Google image karl malone college and tell me that he never took steroids to look like he does in your picture.

[the I in winParticipant]

  hes was about the same size as robinson, he didn’t do roids he just was dedicated ot the weight room and has always had a huge frame, a similar frame to t-rob.

[SpacegrassParticipant]

Does Thomas Robinson also like squirrel pie , 18 wheelers , wants to be a pro wrestler , loves camoflauge , and cowboy boots?  Sorry , but embedding doesn’t seem to work.

 You can’t deny Robinson’s heart, strength and motor. My major issues with him is that he needs to develop a better mid range game and also on the collegiate level he struggled with length so that issues could be magnified even greater in the NBA. I’d say though he’s probably the safest draft bet to be a contributor in some capacity but his overall ceiling depends on his ability to develop his game away from the basket. 

[JoeWolf1]

 I don’t understand the "tweener" talk.  He’s a power forward, whether he’s 6’8” in shoes or 6’10” in shoes he plays like a PF, rebounds like a PF, and has expanded his offensive game like a PF would by adding face up range and ball handling to take someone off the dribble 15 feet from the bucket.

No matter how tall he is from the top of his head, he’ll have a 9′ standing reach, a 33 + ” vertical leap and be one of the strongest players in the draft.  Just because he’s not the size of Derrick Favors doesn’t mean he can’t be a very good power forward.
