LB Comments On Nate Robinson
Quote:
"I'm pretty excited about him," Brown said when camp ended. "He's terrific, and he's going to be better and better. He can flat play. He's a rookie and he's got to learn, but he can play. He wants to learn."
Robinson's athletic ability is amazing. His father, Jacque, was a star running back at Washington in the early '80's, and Nate played one year for the football team as a cornerback before concentrating on basketball and leading the Huskies in scoring three straight seasons.
After a practice in Charleston, Robinson amused teammates by leaping and grabbing a rim with both hands and hanging there with his feet dangling more than three feet off the ground. Of course, Crawford and Stephon Marbury weren't quite so amused when they had to bring the ball up against Robinson, who pestered them relentlessly.
Robinson isn't afraid to take on anybody, and that makes him special in Brown's eyes. "I don't look at Nate as being small," he said. "He's so athletic and strong. This kid is a different kind of player right now. But he's got great feet and great energy. He should be a great defender."
Brown isn't the only one with "great" expectations for Robinson. Accepting Brown's criticism in practice, Robinson smiled and said, "He says you need a great point guard to be a great team. I take that into consideration that he wants me to be great. They don't call me 'Nate the Great' for nothing, so I've got to live up to the name."
