Blake Griffin measured in at 6’8.25 without shoes. So he needs to hit 6’8 otherwise he’s too undersized to be effective. Height matters, you don’t want an undersized PF they can’t play defense. This guy rebounds at an elite level though.

Like I say: 8’11″ standing reach, 7’1″ wingspan, 240 lbs., and 6’8″ height WITHOUT SHOES could get me excited about the kid. According to swishscout.com, and what I’ve seen, he is a good fit for the pick and roll style of the NBA, because he can hit a face up shot AND he is a danger going towards the basket.

He looked about 6’7″ to 6’8″ standing next to 6’4″ Craig Sager and 7’0″ Jeff Withey in an interview. Maybe he was slouching? I’m anxious to see the pre-draft measurements. If he turns up with an 8’11″ standing reach and a 7’1″ wingspan, I’m interested. I won’t cry too much if we take him around pick 4, because 12 rebounds a game in college will very likely translate to 10 rebounds a game in the pros. It just seems like there are other more suitable guys for our needs. I do like the fact Robinson went 7-14 from 3 this year. Maybe he can build on that area.

The question that I have about robinson is what is his real, true height. If he is truly 6’10″ then yes grab him from anywhere at #2 on down. But if he is 6’7″ then I’m not interested.
