2012 NBA Draft Scouting Report: Thomas Robinson
Position: Power Forward
Size: 6-9, 237
School: Kansas, Junior
Strengths:
Weaknesses:
Summary: As expected, Robinson has emerged as the go-to player for the Jayhawks this season which has really helped his draft stock. He is pretty complete power forward with a very nice inside/outside game and a terrific combination of size, strength and athleticism to be an ideal NBA power forward. He is certainly a lottery prospect and could move as high as the top five if he really thrives at Kansas this season.
Player Comparison: Poor-man’s Blake Griffin. I am pretty high on Robinson, so I will give him a pretty lofty comparison. Robinson obviously isn’t as good as Griffin was when he was at Oklahoma, but the two have similar traits: explosion at the rim, great athleticism for power forwards, strength, NBA-ready bodies. Griffin had a higher motor, but I actually think Robinson has a better jump shot.
