Robinson, in the third year of his rookie contract, is due $1,190,058 the rest of the season. This season, he is averaging 3.6 points and 4.2 rebounds.
Robinson has not lived up to the hype of being the fifth overall pick in the 2012 draft, but he isn’t the worst player either. He rebounds well and has the size and athleticism to develop into a solid role player in the future. At only 23 years old, the Brooklyn Nets should look to add the young power forward to the team, as they try to build a more formidable roster for the future.
