Very undersized shooting guard that cannot run an offense or handle playing as a point guard. Plays absolutely no defense at all at any time. Has very inflated offensive stats from playing for D'Antoni. Olympiacos would be making yet another mistake. But the good thing is it will be one more time that US sports media gets humbled when Robinson fails.
Of course if you ask any NBA fan about Childress now, they universally claim he was never even on a rotation in the NBA. So for a tiny bit Robinson's failure in Europe would boost the Euroleague and then it will be totally swept under the rug, just like the Childress experiment.

Robinson is obviously not a traditional point guard, and whichever team signs him ought to know that. He's an extremely undersized shooting guard. You can't say D'Antoni's system inflated his offense but ignore its effect on his defense. Robinson is a quick defender, very active one-on-one, though his size is a huge disadvantage. He wasn't invested at all in defense under D'Antoni since that's the system. If you put him in a system which stresses defense, he'll defend.
He would be an incredible 6th man for Olympiacos, coming off the bench and giving a scoring spurt which they usually so desperately need. He would be one of the top scorers in the Euroleague, and even though he doesn't offer much else, he would be an excellent (but pricey) role player, playing 20-25 mpg.
In other news, Prokom extended Qyntel Woods and Daniel Ewing. Any word on David Logan? He was excellent in the Euroleague last season.

Unicaja Malaga are looking for a PF of U.S. to close the template, a name that rang for weeks is that of A. Tolliver.
Gomis is the second guard, to give minutes to freire Rafael, a young promising basketball Brazilian only 17 years to be part of the team in Malaga and the many expectations placed on AITO

It seems that Oly's not going to sign any other players after the PG. The Kleiza-case won't go further and probably Olympiakos will stay with Mavrokefalidis and Erceg in PF position. Only if they sign an EU-PG I think they'll try to sign a US PF. Oly's squad seems to have 5 Guards (Papaloukas, Halperin, Kelati, McIntyre?, Sloukas) 2 forwards (Childress,Vasilopoulos), 2 PF/C (Erceg, Mavrokefalidis) and 3 Centers (Bourousis, Vujcic, Glyniadakis). In case the PG is Saras(???) the PF will be American. Rumours: D. Gooden, David Lee

False accusation once again. The other forum mods really need to have a little discussion about how you "moderate".
