Royce White...

[vortex]

It's interesting how a college player's game transitions into the NBA. I think Robinson will do well as will White. Robinson's intensity and willingness to play hard all the time, especially on defense might just give him an edge over White. Time will tell.

Royce is the better player without question.

 

[BigM]

T-Rob is not 6'10". Maybe 6'8" at most, plus Royce is smarter, quicker, and uses his body better. Robinson is good, but I haven't been that impressed by him all year. I think he's good(NBA good) but not Naismith POY good. Thats just my opinion though.

i believe self is on record as saying robinson is actually more like 6'8"and 1/2" than the 6'10" they list him at, they do it only because it looks more impressive on paper

 

[WhatchaGonnaDo]

Well Royce outplayed him twice head to head....soo....this is fairly obvious

 

[SBMcDunk]

thomas robinson does have some scary shoulders though. they are almost dwight howard big

 

[cymaniac17]

So t-rob is 6'8.5? that puts him at about 6'10 with shoes which is what he will be listed as in the NBA. Royce is prob 6'6.5... maybe! We will see

 

[erikbj]

is better than Thomas Robinson...that is all.

you just now came up with that, what about after their 2 encounters on the court - it seemed pretty obvious.

 

[Cydkar]

T-Rob is 6'10 240 and completly ripped!! Look at his shoulders!!

...and Royce is bigger and stronger.

 

[Cydkar]

I will say this about Robinson, if Royce played as hard as Robinson consistently does than Royce would go top 3 in the draft this year. Royce doesn't always bring like Robinson does

Agree.

 

[CLONECONES]

No doubt that Royce's stock should rise after every other Kentucky game. They don't let anyone score down low yet Royce did it and made it look fairly easy

this.

In the NBA games I have watched the only person that brings it when they come down the floor is the guy that is going to get the shot on that trip. I think Royce will be fine on effort in the NBA. I went to the Okie State game in Stillwater and sat behind the bench and I can tell you that I saw Royce White sweat at least that one game!

Wow, I'd watch more NBA. If you think they predetermine who will shoot each possession you are dumb. Well, unless it's the Lakers

I noticed this especially in the video of Danny Manning walking with Robinson back to the KU locker room after the game. Manning looked at least three inches taller and Manning is 6-10 or 6-11.

 

[hoopitup]

Both White and Robinson are great players. Royce is more skilled from a passing and ball handling standpoint and I think he is a better finisher at the hoop. One of the big reasons Robinson struggled is because KU plays with 2 posts most of the time (Withey). That brings another big in the lane. We play with 1 post with shooters and slashers, which opens it more for Royce to use his skills in the lane. Don't kill Robinson, but still give me Royce.

They show a team other than the lakers/heat on the non-cable channels?

 

[BringBackJohnny]

Robinson will do good in the NBA because all he does it get good position then throw the ball at the rim while wildly jumping into a guy. Foul every time in the NBA. Not a foul in the NC game hence poor performance.

With that being said what is with both the NBA and NCAA hoops getting so soft. F1 and F2 fouls please! They wanted an F1 20 seconds into the NC game and all guy did was flop so hard he almost broke himself.

Basketball IS as contact sport.
