Kings Expect More from Rookie Robinson

When the Kings selected Thomas Robinson with the No. 5 pick in June, the Kansas power forward was thought to be one of the most pro-ready players in the draft, someone who could contribute immediately.

That certainly hasn’t been the case.

As The Bee’s Jason Jones reported Monday, the Kings never planned to rush Robinson into a starting role. But shouldn’t the 6-foot-10 Robinson be putting up bigger numbers than 15.8 minutes, 4.6 points and 3.9 rebounds (entering Monday’s game) for a mediocre team?

The two players picked just after Robinson – Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard and Warriors small forward Harrison Barnes – are off to solid starts.
