Finkelstein: “Kentucky is Jaxson Robinson‘s fourth school in five years. He started at Texas A&M. He went to Arkansas. Two years at BYU and then finished up this year at Kentucky. Of course, this season was cut short by injury, but even when he was on the court was he ever 100 percent healthy? He doesn’t have near the same draft buzz as he had last year.”
Trotter: “It’s a wrist injury and he is going to miss the rest of the season, so it’s a real deal. And he aggravated it… And it’s a shame because I thought Jaxson Robinson had helped himself out at times this year with his ability to play on the ball. We rarely saw that at BYU, but this year he had to go into that role when Lamont Butler was down with an injury. We saw him get more chances on the ball, and the tape was fine… He showcased a lot of off-movement shooting and the ability to play in Kentucky’s dribble handoff offense… It stings because I thought Robinson had a chance to solidify himself as a potential top-40 pick if he was able to stay healthy all year long.
Finklestein: “I am going stock flat on this one, which is different than the public perception, which is that he was a hotter NBA prospect a year ago. The numbers are still pretty impressive. He’s shooting 48 percent on unguarded catch and shoot threes. That is a number that will translate to the NBA. And he’s shown more on-ball ability. He’s listed at 6-foot-6, so he has size that translates, if he can prove that he can guard his position in the NBA, floor spacers like this — it’s gonna be more of what his role was a BYU, big wing who can space the floor…. People aren’t talking about him right now, but I would not be at all surprised that Jaxson Robinson is a name that picks up some momentum here as the college basketball starts to shift to NBA Draft season.”
