Los Angeles Clippers: 5 reasons Jerome Robinson was a good pick
2. Offensive creativity
Because of his ball-handling skills combined with his shot-making ability, Robinson has the potential to be one of the most well-rounded scorers in the game.
Think about Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker, a guy who was also taken with the 13th pick back in 2015, as a model for Robinson to follow.
A 41.1 percent outside shooter in his lone season at Kentucky, Booker has developed an all-around offensive arsenal in his three NBA seasons, capable of scoring both inside and out, in isolation or off a screen to the tune of 24.9 points per game in 2017-18.
With a similar build and style of play, Robinson has the potential to become a scorer similar to that of Booker, a shooter who’s developed a game inside the arc.
His outside shot could be the fulcrum for his entire game, forcing defenders to crowd him, thereby allowing him to drive past them and create an open shot right at the bucket or from the free throw line extended.
