I have watched several of his games trying to see if I was missing something and was never impressed with im in any game.

Is that a joke? His offense is great, and he's a damn good rebounder. I think he's the safest guy to take at #3 pick in this draft.

Most complete 7 footer I've seen in a while. If he went #3 that would be about right.

The only thing you worry about is his post moves all come from the same spot on the floor. Over his right shoulder on the low block. Can he not post anywhere else? If that is the only place he can post, once it's scouted he will be rendered ineffective.

Same spot, same move...regardless of the defense. Poor post passer. Not much of an intimadator. I don't think he translates well to the NBA. No NBA team is going to feed him like that and he is not a great finisher. Not much of a motor.

Must be just me because everyone else seems to love him.

He's got a huge bust factor to me as well MemphisX. I think his brother could have a better career to be honest, because his hustle game is quite impressive.

Robyn looks like another Anderson Varejao to me which means he'll be valuable to teams even if he doesn't turn into a star

Their games are not similar, maybe their hair though

Two numbers are alarming to me, his field goal percentage and his rebounding numbers. They aren't bad, but he should be able to get at least 10 rebounds per game and shoot a better percentage than 46 from the field with his size and athletic ability. I wouldn't consider taking him in the Top 10, let alone Top 3 which sounds just absurd to me.

Robin is that Josh Boone type that is better around someone who is actually really good, so he can clean up the garbage. If you're going to go to him, you're in trouble because he has zero moves.

Expecting true centers to average 10 rpg in college is asking a lot. Once again, college basketball refs tend to take big guys out of the game, so on average guys that big tend to only play 25-28 minutes per night. Yet, a guard can routinely go 35-40 minutes. You can't just look at the numbers. Field goal percentage is very important though.
