    He's still in the league? How did he wrangle a player option?

    Never give player options to players that don't warrant it. If he breaks out, he will opt out. If he sucks, he will opt in.

    Not a bad pickup. He is pretty athletic and still young. He just gotta work on his outside shooting.

    Robinson is actually bigger than him. I bet 5 years from now trob is a serviceable rotation player over dwill. He has elite rebounding and defense. Just needs to learn to never shoot unless he's in the paint.
