Los Angeles Clippers: 5 reasons Jerome Robinson was a good pick

3. He can handle the ball

Despite standing at 6’5”, Jerome Robinson played point guard quite a lot during his time at Boston College. With a scorer’s mentality, having the ball in his hands forced Robinson to tighten his handles and better his decision-making, turning him into a smarter and more diverse offensive threat.

He’s proven very crafty with the basketball, capable of weaving in and around defenders in order to get to the bucket.

In a league driven by versatility, Robinson’s ability to create for himself will serve him well, with the possibility of the Clippers turning to him as their go-to scorer in the game’s waning minutes — a time in which many of the game’s best scorers have proven themselves.

With only 3.3 assists per game in college, facilitating for others will take time. Once he gets a feel for the NBA game, Robinson may not become one of the top dime-droppers, but he’ll be able to make the correct read on any given play.
