Hell yeah. This guy was projected as a 1st round pick before and his coach said he's the best athlete he has ever coached, even over Rudy Gay.

We definitely need some athletes on our team. He's not much of a shooter though (decent). He'd be great playing with Ish however.

He is damn 6-9, 7-0 wingspan, and he might be the most athletic player in the NBA.


Get him with Shane Battier for a few months and build a defensive monster that can hit corner 3's...

Before last years college season started he was projected a lottery- mid 1st round pick. His stock dropped b/c he didnt play well during the season.

I was just looking over his measurements, and the dude has a maximum vertical reach of 12'1 , that's higher than anyone on our team~ Jordan Hill is the closet to him with a 11'11 max vert reach.

He also posses a very good standing reach for a SF, at practically 9'0.. add this measurements to his great lateral quickness and this guy has all the tools to be a great defender in the league.

When I saw the name Stanley Robinson in the title, for some reason I thought it was Stanley Roberts. I was thinking no way, are we really that desperate.

Holy crap I'm excited! Does he have some kind of mental issues though? Why did Orlando cut him in less than a year?

He certainly looks like a rich man's Jared Jeffries. I'd definitely give him a look if he doesn't have retarded bball IQ. Those kinds of measurements are insane.

The Rockets have no rights to him whatsoever, he is free to sign with any NBA team from the Vipers.

If the Rox want him, they have to drop someone from the current roster.

We should make a 4 for 1 and move up Pat and Stan. LET THE REBUILDING BEGIN!


Battier could be useful for something, as a Sensei.

For those that don't know, just because he's on the Viper doesn't mean we have first dibs. Any Nba team can claim him. I say waive Jeffries and get him on board.

We need to get this guy on board. He's got serious upside.
