Mitchell Robinson. 16. player. 66. . Center. High School

The Lakers promised to pick Mitchell Robinson at No. 25, but they might have to reach a bit higher if they want a guaranteed chance at the highly coveted, yet incredibly raw center.

Here’s what Yahoo! Sports said about Robinson following his immediate exit at the combine:

"Mitchell’s talent — or at least the talent he showed at Chalmette High School — is undeniable. A 7’1,” 225-pound big man, Mitchell runs the floor effortlessly, jumps out the gym, blocks and rebounds everything near him and shows signs of a polished offensive game in his high school highlights."

Apparently, Robinson has some out-of-this-world athleticism and could be molded to be a better shooting Serge Ibaka. He’s certainly raw, and he didn’t play too much at Western Kentucky. There’s not much known about Robinson and his in-game abilities, but with proper coaching, he should be able to be a monster.
