Denver Nuggets: 5 options for pick No. 49 in 2017 NBA Draft

3. Devin Robinson, SF/PF, Florida

If you like dunking, then you like Devin Robinson, the junior out of Florida. Robinson might not be the kind of guy that changes the trajectory of a franchise, but he gets the people on their feet with his ludicrous leaping ability.

The former Gator is 6’7″ without his shoes on, and he showed off his elite leaping at the NBA combine. According to Draft Express, his no step vertical is north of 35 inches, and his max vert of 41.5″ is just plain silly for someone of his height. Both of those marks were the third-best at the combine, and according to the guys at DE, that puts him in some elite company:

"“The only players in our database over 6’7” to post vertical leaps like that in both categories and go onto play in the NBA are Vince Carter, Glenn Robinson III, Ronald Dupree and Alex Poythress. Another interesting note on the Gator alum is that he posted the seventh lowest body fat percentage in our database history at 3.2 percent.”"

Devin Robinson isn’t the next Vince Carter, but he is freak athlete. If nothing else, his game is entertaining enough to warrant a late selection. Denver has already constructed one of the more entertaining young rosters in the league, and the introduction of Robinson’s athleticism is an appealing prospect.

Robinson is almost 6’8″ but weighs just about 200 pounds. He’s probably best suited as a 3 in the NBA, though he can serve as a power forward in smaller lineups and possesses some touch as a shooter.

Again, Denver is likely to draft a wing with pick No. 13, and in that case the chances of selecting another one here grows slimmer. But Robinson could very well be available at 49, and Denver might be tempted by his high flying game.
