If you’re a fifth overall pick and your career high is eighteen points, that can only mean one thing: you’re a bust. And at this point, Thomas Robinson isn’t even the Evan Turner kind of bust where they still play an important role even if they’re never going to live up to their draft slot. Nope, T-Rob is more like the Adam Morrison kind of bust where you keep playing him hoping he’ll be good but then he just sucks and everybody gives up on him.
If he can reinvent himself as Reggie Evans 2.0 by focus on rebounding and forgetting about trying to take shots from outside the paint, T-Rob can stick around for awhile. However, to be Reggie Evans 2.0, there is a certain ball-grabbing requirement that T-Rob might be reluctant to undertake. Does anybody know Chris Kaman’s phone number?
