Measurables

Robinson stands 7-1 with a 7-4 wingspan and 9-3 standing reach, according to ESPN’s Mike Schmitz. In June 2017, he weighed in at 223 pounds at the USA U19 tryouts.

There’s a reason most of these measurements are unofficial and so dated, and that’s because Robinson didn’t appear at the NBA Draft Combine. He also has no college statistics to compare to other prospects, as he decided to forego his freshman season last September to begin preparations for the NBA Draft. He was supposed to play for Western Kentucky University.

The only numbers we have to go off of are his high school numbers, which, albeit, are phenomenal. Still, take them with a grain of salt.

In two seasons at Chalmette High School in Louisiana, Robinson put up averages of 22.8 points, 12.6 rebounds, and 6.9 blocks per game. Competition is lousy here, but impressive numbers nonetheless.

In the Jordan Brand Classic game in April 2017, Robinson scored 15 points and grabbed 3 rebounds in 16 minutes of play. Competition here is more like what Robinson would’ve seen in college. The Classic featured other premier bigs like DeAndre Ayton, Wendell Carter, and Mohamed Bamba.
