Dude looks like a journeyman out there. His is small on the court is an absolute non factor on the defensive end of the court. He will get destroyed by the larger PFs in this league.
Does ISH still feel he's the next Karl Malone?

He hasn't been that bad. He can grab boards and draw tonnes of fouls so a realistic comparison for him would be something like Paul Milsap
bigs take the longest to develop in this league.
summer league knee jerk reaction threads are always funny though
Hey PB, remember when you said Kyrie Irving was terrible and wouldn't amount to anything in the NBA? :lol

Even worse. Good pros/rookies always dominate Summer league especially considering they are playing against scrubs. You think he will stink it up in Summer league and be a great pro? If anything it's the 2 game sample size that's the issue here but nothing about him has impressed the way Barnes, Beal, MKG have for example.

T-Rob is a lock for the rookie of the year now. Thanks for guaranteeing that.
Irving still going to suck?
from what i've seen so far, T-Rob not shooting well but he is a relentless attacker. great motor and has a knack for getting to the line. 28FT attempts in the 2 games combined.
he does have trouble with some length.

Summer league means little to nothing, especially for bigs. This is a guard dominated event. The players with the ball in their hand are trying to get jobs and they aren't looking to make the 5th pick in the draft look good. They care about their own asses.
For example, Jerryd Bayless averaged 30 PPG in summer league. He dominated. In the NBA? He hasn't done sh*t.
I think Robinson is playing just fine.

07-14-2012, 11:33 PM
I disagree. He's overhandling the ball in the open court (hence the 8 tos last night). Other than that, I don't mind his fg% since he is generally attacking and just getting blocked but the effort, hustle, and "motor" are there.

I wanted to say this but I dn't keep up with the summer league closely enough to know how everyone did in their first summer league. I just assumed there's probably been at least a few good or even very good current players that were average or less than impressive in the summer league.
And it's not like Robinson has been awful. He just hasn't been good, yet.

LeBron 2003 Summer League
Game 1: 29 min, 25 pts, 9 reb, 5 ast, 11/21 FG, 2/5 3P, 1/3 FT
Game 2: 30 min, 15 pts, 9 reb, 6 ast, 5/14 FG, 0/2 3P, 5/11 FT
Game 3: 27 min, 14 pts, 9 reb, 5 ast, 6/16 FG, 0/2 3P, 2/2 FT
Game 4: 24 min, 9 pts, 2 reb, 1 ast, 2/14 FG, 0/3 3P, 5/8 FT
Averages: 27.5 mpg, 15.7 ppg, 7.2 rpg, 4.2 apg, 24/65 FG (.369), 2/12 3P (.167), 13/24 FT (.542)
Not awful but not great, either, after the first game. I'm sure there's more stars that had similar summer leagues (were good but didn't dominate) but LeBron's stats were really easy to find.

My God you are a moron. Tons of great players did not dominate summer league. Carmelo Anthony did not, I saw him play twice in Utah. Guys like Joe Johnson played in summer league for years then went on to huge contracts.

He's a first round pick, so he doesn't have to play hard. He already has his contract, so he's going to chill until that rookie contract is near done.

Not playing hard isn't his problem. He's actually playing very hard and that's part of what I think makes him attractive as a prospect. He has a high motor and is always active. He's just having trouble finishing in traffic in the lane and isn't taking the smartest shots.

This. Not saying that's what's happening with Robinson, but I watched most of the games in the Orlando League and most of the games from teh first two days of the Vegas League, and there's a lot of no-name scrubs that, when put in the game, are looking out for themselves.

Head has been garbage ? In his first game, his statline was similar to MKG. But Head wasn't happy about his while MKG just went along with it. Not the same drive.
In the second game, he led the team with a double double.
Head is so freaking legit it hurts.
Heck, as he had a bad shooting night, Head decided to showcase why he will be the next Mr. Funamental (Tim Duncan) by getting 4 ASSISTS.

Summer league games are a weird setting where not everyone is on the same page. It's like different games are being played at the same time.
You could be a superstar and perform way worse than you usually do in NBA games... you could also be a shotjacking, benchwarming energy PG and get 30 on any given day.

I remember the first Heat game of the 2008 summer league.. It was the Heat vs Bulls. Michael Beasley had like 30 and was laughing on the court while doing so, and Mario Chalmers outplayed Derrick Rose, who looked awful. People were saying (including me) how this was clear evidence that Beasley should have been the #1 pick and some (like me) were saying that Chalmers could likely end up being as good or better of a PG than Rose.
This is just another example of how you can't read too much into summer league games, especially only one or two of them.

Robinson is getting to the line, and is a man out there. He has parts of his game to work on, but all he really needs is experience, solid coaching, a pass first guard and he's going to develop.

Still trashing it up.

It's not he's been garbage, its the fact he's not showing NBA skills AT ALL. He doesn't look advanced at any single skillset for a NBA player to make it in the league, let alone as an undersized PF. He can't shoot. Doesn't explode off the floor. Can't finish. Instincts are terrible. And his touch around the rim??? Atrocious.
He looks like a career back up. LMAO @ dude calling him the next Karl Malone.
Looks like I was right about another one.
