Devin Robinson, Florida

Robinson is 6’8, 200-pound small forward/power forward. He’s your classic “3-and-D” guy. He’s a long, athletic athlete who is also a capable outside shooter. In the old NBA, Robinson might’ve been called a “tweener” because he’s sort of in between a three and a four. But in today’s NBA he’ll be looked at as a guy who could potentially play either.

As a junior, Robinson averaged 11.1 points, 6.1 rebounds, 0.9 steals, and 0.8 blocks last season.

I’ve seen Robinson projected to go as high as no. 51 to the Denver Nuggets, and I’ve seen other mock drafts that don’t have Robinson getting drafted at all.
