We have previously mock drafted Robinson to the Hawks with the 30th overall pick, but his stock has since fallen, and Atlanta should be able to select him midway through the second round or beyond.

A solid athlete with a plus-forty percent clip from long distance, Robinson would immediately upgrade Atlanta’s wing rotation, which was pretty much limited solely to Taurean Prince during the latter portion of the 2017-18 season.

Though a junior, Robinson will only be 21 on draft day, which means there is still plenty of potential for growth at the next level. If he bulks up a bit, he should develop into an above-average player on both ends for the Hawks – furthering bolstering their thoroughly depleted talent coffers.
