Robinson’s physical attributes have been noted well below. In this setting he deferred to K’Ja Johnson as the primary scorer. He really seems to embrace the idea of being a facilitator. However, he did show glimpses of being able to create his own shot. He hit a nice step back jumper within the offense.

Robinson is a smooth prospect on the wing. Like we have mentioned below, strength or lack thereof is a point of watch in his progression. In college application essay prompt a gym full of top shelf 2016/17 prospects, Robinson didn’t showcase a definitive specialty that allowed him to separate himself from the pack. He did find a way to be quietly productive in spurts.

Robinson puts me in the mind of Cam Johnson (GA-14) who recently committed to the College of Charleston. Robinson is a wing with length & good bounce in his legs. He has a clean release from beyond the arc. In this match-up here today vs. ATL Xpress 16U, he was not the most impactful kid on the court. He played much more of a complimentary role, rather than a play-making role.

Robinson is a guard who can get off the floor well with time to leap. His game is similar to Derrick Jones (PA-15) but he’s not as explosive. He can college essays purchase play both guard spots. As Shun said below, he’ll have to get stronger.

Robinson is a long wiry guard that has great length although he is not extremely explosive going to the basket. That said he has an effective first step. He does a good job of changing speeds/direction in transition and in the half court keeping defenders on their toes. Robinson has to be more aggressive looking to score and creating opportunities for his teammates. During the first half Robinson only took two shots and did not look to score or attack the basket. During the second half he was more aggressive knocking down a pair of three pointers and getting a piece of the paint finishing with the pull up jumper or dishing off to teammates for the easy basket. Robinson must continue to add weight and strength to his frame.
