the notorious S.A.C. 89 Report post Posted February 15, 2017 Of course he can still be a complete bust. Mario's probably going to fall somewhere close to Peja Stojakovic at his ceiling. More athletic but not as good from outside at Peja though. and on the low end he would be like Peja right now.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rekraprovert 6 Report post Posted February 15, 2017 With our mid-20s pick we should take a look at.....are you guys ready for this........Devon Robinson!! He'll need to put on some serious weight, but I think he could be Otto Porter-ish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He'll need to put on some serious weight, but I think he could be Otto Porter-ish. interesting, what do you like about him? what are some things you've seen him do? He checks the FT% box for me, but I haven't seen him play. He could probably spread the floor at the next level. One thing is for sure he is very raw.

He could probably spread the floor at the next level. One thing is for sure he is very raw. He's long and athletic. Shoots well from 3 (up to 39% and has been steadily increasing over his 3 years). Rebounds well. He'd definitely be a project due to his weight, but he's got the size, athleticism and shooting touch to be an interesting piece in a few years. Full disclosure- I'm a Gator fan.

He'd definitely be a project due to his weight, but he's got the size, athleticism and shooting touch to be an interesting piece in a few years. Full disclosure- I'm a Gator fan. typically, the juniors that average 11.5 ppg as wings on non-stacked teams without other dominant players don't fare too well in the NBA. Fouls out in 16 minutes against florida state, only scores 8 points 11 points on 3-7 shooting against duke. Kennard and tatum go off for 20+ put up 16 and 9 against Kentucky which is nice. but too many 4-5 point games as a junior. Shooting % is nice but only 30 made threes in 26 games. He kinda reminds me of Okaro White. white was probably a better defender but Robinson shoots a bit better. Those guys go undrafted, bounce around for a while and inevitably end up as interesting summer league players at 23, 24 and maybe impress enough to get a roster spot.

Murphy13 185 Report post Posted February 16, 2017 He plays terribly against every nba sized center. He's not anywhere near an nba player I'd take a flyer on him; he has things you can't teach like previously mentioned, but also has really soft hands and has only been playing a few years. He has a motor on him that most trees don't have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ibn Battuta 127 Report post Posted February 16, 2017 Fall was mentioned earlier. According to DX he was shooting 56% from the FT line last season which is about normal for a big. But this season closer to 46% so that's a concern. Also it looks like all his points are: seals man, couble dribbles, and point blank dunk or layup. No post moves to speak of. Very predictable and defenses will counter. If he goes undrafted then sure put him in summer league. Amway is literally 20 minutes from UCF haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
