I'm So disappointed in what became of Thomas Robinson

[Archangel]

Yeah nikka, HIM.
Thomas Robinson, 5th overall pick back in 2012 outta Kansas.

I remember thinking breh could be Amare light.

Was very disappointed when he was drafted to Sactown but then I saw his draft interview. Skip to 1:45 :



You could see the hunger in that mans eyes. The determination. I aint never seen somebody react that way after being drafted. Breh was all business from the jump . I knew he was gonna be an allstar one day.

Drafted in June 2012 and traded to Houston by Feb 2013

It was all downhill from there.

By July 2013 he was traded again to Portland.

Then Philly, then Lakers then Brooklyn.
Then nobody.
Breh went overseas and played in Russia for Khimko tf?
Then the Beikong Flydragons

Now he in the G league playing for the Maine Red Claws

Sacramento was a death sentence but I thought my boy had next

I bet when you woke up this morning you didn't think you'd see a thread on Thomas Robinson.

He played well on the lakers. Breh is a good energy big off the bench

Should've been so much more. The work ethic was there. When he was in Portland, he had some good games off the bench. Breh had a game with 14 points and 16 boards.

If he wouldve got drafted anywhere else besides Sacramento, he wouldve lived up to the expectations.

 

[mastermind]

He was a small, back to the basket, power forward when the league was moving to small-ball with limited athleticism. He wasn't supposed to be the one.

 

[010101]

he's a throwback & more & more & more it's all about skill level.........he should've applied all his energy to rebounding & defense*

 

[BlackAchilles]

I forgot this man existed

But yeah he came into the league a decade too late

 

[VegetasHairline]

Just one of many wasted draft picks by the Kings.

BUt his whole NBA career wasn't in Sacramento. He had other chances to live up to the hype on other teams, but what happened there?

Amar’e face up and midrange was deadly. Can’t just call any athletic PF the next Amar’e. Thomas Robinson couldn’t shoot.

Thomas Robinson is one of those guys who should be in the league whose not in the league. He could easily be a solid energy big.

My nikka Chris McCullough out the league too.

 

[killacal]

He was trash stiff and undersized nikkas still falling for the "look"

Yall watch hoops like bytches

 

[Easy-E]

Got paid and can take care of his sister.

 

[Oldschooler]

He dominated small white boys in college, but never heard of his hype in high school. Not being able to shoot is a death sentence in the league nowadays. Same with the Morris twins but at least they developed a jumper that's what saved their career.

 

[SoulController]

thought he was a plug-and-play, sturdy starter at the worst. surprising

 

[AlainLocke]

Thomas Robinson had no skills

The Morris Twins were highly skilled coming out of college. They both could post iso and shoot the 3.

 

[staticshock]

We have the new Amare
