Robinson may surprise some people. This Summer League will be even more important for him with a chance to prove himself. He spent much of his time preparing for the draft recovering from the wrist injury. Missed much of the draft process getting to workout for teams then and the NBA Combine.
I am pulling hard for all of our guys to land on opening day rosters
I'm not so sure Robinson would be "that" big of a surprise. Now Carr on the other hand...for some reason I think his game will transfer over and surprise a few people. Time will tell...
It wasn’t meant as a knock on Robinson—quite the opposite, in fact. The surprise aspect is being read into a bit too much. He was the last of the Wildcats to get signed, and that was through no fault of his own. After going undrafted, recovering from a season-ending injury, and missing much of the draft process, teams understandably had questions about him. As mentioned earlier, this is Jaxson’s opportunity to prove himself, especially since he didn’t get the chance to participate in the combine or individual team workouts that many others had. That said, I believe he has the potential to surprise some people around the league as an undrafted free agent.
Everyone of these players could see action and make a roster beyond Williams and Brea who were drafted. Even if it is for a brief run. IMO, Carr probably has the biggest uphill battle to climb. Butler can carve out a role as a backup PG. He can do a little bit of everything as a lockdown defender, taking care of the ball, cut to the rim, and his perimeter shooting rose 9% from his last year at SDSU to his arrival at UK.
