4. Devin Robinson, SF/PF, Florida

Devin Robinson out of of Florida could be an intriguing pick for the San Antonio Spurs. While I mentioned this pick should lean toward a wing or shooting guard, Robinson’s versatility, coupled with that of another Spurs player, could fill the role.

With Kyle Anderson seeing minutes for the Spurs at the 2, 3 and 4 this year, we could see him move permanently to the backcourt in the near future, opening up a spot for Robinson as a combo forward.

Robinson’s size (6’8″ with a 7’1″ wingspan) and athleticism (41.5″ max vertical) are terrific for a versatile defender, and he began improving his three-pointer this year at Florida. He has the potential to defend the rim and play out on the perimeter defensively, a unique aspect for a second-round forward.

DraftExpress and Tankathon have Robinson going 51 and 53 respectively, so there’s a chance he’s available at 59. A potential wing combination of Anderson-Robinson-Kawhi Leonard would be monstrous defensive unit with offensive versatility.
