2018 NBA Mock Draft 9.0
Robinson left Western Kentucky over the summer, instead electing to prepare for the draft full-time. While some off-court red flags have come up since then, he projects as one of the best frontcourt talents in the draft.
An electric athlete, Robinson has an NBA-ready physical profile. He would benefit from adding more muscle, but at 7-foot-1 with a 7-foot-4 wingspan, his athleticism gives him one for he highest defensive ceilings outside the top 10.
He’d also be an easy fit with the Lakers’ core, with or without LeBron. A high-energy lob-catcher, his ability to fill the lane and play above the rim would pair nicely with Lonzo Ball‘s penchant for on-target passes.
