Charlotte, N.C. — Thomas Robinson made a quantum leap during his junior year at Kansas University.
He spent Friday morning trying to convince the Charlotte Bobcats that he has even more upside.
Robinson and Connecticut’s Andre Drummond worked out for the Bobcats as part of Charlotte’s evaluations for the June 28 NBA Draft.
The Bobcats own the second pick and are considering several options on the assumption that New Orleans will select Kentucky’s Anthony Davis at No. 1.
“I feel I have potential to develop even more as a player,” Robinson said. “I still have a high ceiling. I feel I’m nowhere near complete as a player, so I think I have more upside than people think.”
Robinson, at 6-foot-9, and the 6-10 Drummond represent intriguing options should the Bobcats decide to take a big man with the No. 2 pick. Earlier this week the team worked out guard Bradley Beal of Florida and small forwards Michael Kidd-Gilchrist of Kentucky and Harrison Barnes of North Carolina.
Robinson, who played in the shadows of Cole Aldrich and Marcus and Markieff Morris during his first two years at Kansas, blossomed as a junior this past season, averaging 17.7 points and 11.9 rebounds. He led the nation with 27 double-doubles and was a first-team AP All-American.
Bobcats officials, including owner Michael Jordan and new coach Mike Dunlap, declined to comment after the workout. But NBA scouts in general like Robinson’s explosiveness, his motor and his rebounding ability.
“I’m a little better off the dribble than people think,” Robinson said. “My shot has gotten a lot better since the season was over. I’m learning how to read the defense better than I ever did before, so I’m just learning a different pace of the game and it’s helping me.”
Joining Drummond and Robinson at Friday’s workouts were Kent Bazemore and Chris Cooper of Old Dominion, Ramone Moore of Temple and Josh Owens of Stanford.

When is the LJW going to call KU by its real name? The University of Kansas
bconn73 11 months ago
How about this....as soon as KU stops having a sign on it's campus saying Kansas University and calling it's endowment association The Kansas University Endowment, they will too. Get over it. And yes we all know the track is what makes our football team bad.

You want to vilify unique? Be careful what you wish for. In a world filled with Targets, Home Depots, McDonalds, Walmarts, and yes, AP stories, I welcome the folksy, friendly, and yes - UNIQUE - product that is the LJW.
marchphog88 11 months ago
So, by this logic, you wouldn't have a problem with the LJWorld altering the AP's original report to refer to Robinson as "Tommy" Robinson?
I'm with you 100% on the note about vilifying uniqueness. I don't think the LJWorld's stubbornness on the name issue qualifies as "unique". It's obstinate.
This will be my only post on this article regarding the name issue, as I expressed myself pretty fully on the chat from Matt Tait several weeks ago. I'm not one to come here and make a comment solely about the name, but I can recognize the ridiculousness of the LJWorld's continued "policy" and I hate illogical BS, so I can't help but share my opinion:
1) The LJWorld is being stubborn and unprofessional by insisting on calling KU by something other than how KU defines itself.
2) The posters who feel the need to make an issue out of it on every single article are equally stubborn and obnoxious, because at a certain point, you have to recognize that A) it's not changing, and B) you came here to read content, not proofread.
3) Both parties (LJWorld and the Naming Standards Posters) have the power to stop the p*ssing match at any point, but it would require maturity and professionalism from both parties.
I'll close by saying that it seems like a journalism outfit like the World company should have a slightly higher standard of professionalism than some group of mostly anonymous internet posters. So while the regular complainers could end the issue, I guess I tend to look to the professional organization to act professional.

Let's just start calling the school UK. A'ight?
BayHawkaholic 11 months ago
The schools tell the media all the variations of names they are allowed to call the school. Example: The University of California Athletic Department does not want the word "Berkeley" associated with any of the teams. They have explicitly instructed all media to "don't call us Berkeley." The media complies because they strive to maintain good relations with their partners.
UKU has a fleet of employees dedicated solely to media relations. If there was objection to the Kansas University moniker, UKU would have long ago explicitly instructed the LJW to not use that term. I find it hard to believe that the LJW would deliberately foster a defiant, contentious relationship with the biggest game in town.

This thread makes me think of what it would be like to go to a Tea Party meeting...there's probably an intelligent person there, but you are going to have to look really hard to find him.
Now, back to basketball.....
Gotta give it to T-Rob. He's talking the talk and, by all appearances, walking the walk. Love his comments on upside. Unfortunately, NBA execs who are in charge of losing teams aren't always the brightest bulbs in the sign - so who knows where he will land. Regardless of the team that picks him, T-Rob will be a solid player in the league.
nuleafjhawk 11 months ago
I thought I'd try something crazy and talk about the article, instead of the KU/UK debacle.
“I feel I have potential to develop even more as a player,” Robinson said. “I still have a high ceiling. I feel I’m nowhere near complete as a player, so I think I have more upside than people think.”
Here's an idea that will stir up some hate and discontent, similar to poking a hornet's nest with a short stick - I wonder how much more Thomas could have developed his potential as a player had he stayed another year at KU (or UK, however you choose to look at it. Sorry, couldn't resist.)
april28 11 months ago
It's an interesting question. Tough to answer without knowing who else on the team develops (or not) into another offensive threat. Thomas' game at KU might look the same this year as last if we don't develop additional scoring that creates some space. If teams can simply double and triple down on him, his development might be very limited.
nuleafjhawk 11 months ago
You're right on all points. I just brought it up because it's one of my pet peeves (much like people who text and drive at the same time - I'll never get over it).
I just love........Kansas so much that it grieves me to see one of "us" leave early, whether it's the right thing to do or not. Honestly, I don't think any of them are ready for the NBA when they do leave, but I get why they do it.
One positive that comes out of it - I love to see the naysayers (and sometimes I'm one of them!!) brought back down to earth when Coach Self takes a team of "nobodies" and takes them to yet another Big 12 Championship and then onto the NC game. It seems that no matter who leaves early, who transfers or who doesn't come here at all, Coach figures out how to get the best out of what he has.
He's really the one that I don't want to leave early.
HighEliteMajor 11 months ago
He probably could have developed into still a better player if he stayed, but his draft stock would not have increased. Much like Cole Adrich.
The decision to turn pro is a career decision. Balancing the assurance of money now, vs. staying in college and then either increasing your draft stock and potential staying power in the NBA or having your draft stock fall.
Alohahawk 11 months ago
Perfect example of draft stock falling - Sullinger. He probably will drop anywhere from 5 to 8 spots from where he was projected in last year's draft. He was a definite lottery pick last year, but this year, he may not be. Much as I hate any Jayhawk leaving early, when you're a projected lottery pick there's no reason to stay (other than a possible NCAA championship).
As to nuleafjayhawk's remark just above, I'd say change the descriptive word "nobodies", and instead say, "under-rated players". Although, I agree with your intending meaning. In my book, the Jayhawks are never a team of "nobodies". :>)
nuleafjhawk 11 months ago
Alohahawk - I agree 100%. The "nobodies" reference was for what the rest of the basketball world thinks. And, generally speaking, our under-rated players could start at most any other college in the country.
BayHawkaholic 11 months ago
Agree with april. In the short term it benefited both T-Rob (and KU) to learn how to pass out of a double or triple team. But that was for the college game, where he was such a focus of the opponent. It was time for him to work on his shot and other skills that translate to the NBA game. Another year in college would likely have impeded his progress.
SaltLakeHawk 11 months ago
Danny Manning's gone. Thomas wouldn't have developed that much more.
Considering T-Rob's personal circumstances and his projected spot in the draft, he needed to go. I would have been upset if he stayed.
cklarock 11 months ago
If you're confident that you are a lottery pick, there's no reason to stay -- you're not going to gain much financially even if you do have another POY-calibre year, and you are risking your big-money draft position should you disappoint expectations or get injured. There's no coach with a conscience who could suggest gambling with that much money.

Can someone please tell me the infatuation with the Kansas University vs. University of Kansas thing?
Tell me why it is important to continue to critique?
jhawkrulz 11 months ago
I think the big argument is that the University of Kansas is its official name, people recognize Kansas University; however, as a news outlet you're supposed to get the facts right and you are supposed to get the names, dates, etc. correct.
Technically speaking they are not posting the name right and as a news agency it is unprofessional. I think what is worse is they go out of their way now to get it wrong. As one poster mentions the original article references "Kansas". In another article I read, they had the University of Missouri and in it they referenced Kansas University. The sad thing is, this is the paper that really represents the University of Kansas and they should do it right.
My suggestion is we all refer to the paper as the World of Lawrence Journal until they correct it. I know it would really be Journal of Lawrence World, but who cares, the point is it is wrong and World of Lawrence Journal should get it right.
BayHawkaholic 11 months ago
Actually, I think it would be the Journal World of Lawrence.
But again, the infatuation exists simply because there are many people who cannot be happy unless they have something to complain about. If they cannot find something of substance, then they will pick the low-hanging petty-fruit.

I asked about the infatuation and why this is really important? You then responded by saying that the "big argument" is that the University of Kansas is their "official name" and then "technically speaking" you mention that you think they go out of their way to get it wrong.
My question is why the infatuation, and why is important to continue to critique?

So, I take it "KU" is also insulting the university because it stands for "Kansas University." For the person who had to jump in with the politcal remark: go away, your assumption about a group whose meeting you've admitted you've never attended is, by definition, racist. No place for that here.
By the by, while I'd love to see T-Rob drafted #2, I'd rather see him with a better organization.
coloradojayhawk 11 months ago
It's not racist. "Racist" is being mindful of, and usually against a particular race. Tea party people aren't a "race". They're usually made up of Caucasians, but there are more Caucasians who aren't members. I believe the word you might be looking for is "bigoted" or "prejudiced", but I could be wrong. "Racist" isn't the proper term.

I think 5 comments about the actual topic of the article. I hope T-Rob ends up dropping out of the top 3 in the draft. I wouldn't mind seeing him in New Orleans, but that's not going to happen. Charlotte and Washington are career killing franchises that will hinder T-Rob's development because of how poorly run they are. Cleveland, Sacramento, Portland, Golden State are places where T-Rob to help and build his resume for when he becomes a free agent.

Call me an optimistic idealist, but I think if we persist long enough the LJW/World of Lawrence Journal (which I greatly appreciated for this website) will finally change their naming style and get it correct, as per the University of Kansas itself.
Then we can get to work on that stupid non-standard-size track around the football stadium, which will be much more difficult to change.

My fellow posters tell me it's no future in lovin' an incorrect name. If I can't see "Kansas University" when I want, I'll have to see KU when I can.
Am I wrong to fall so deeply in love with "Kansas University," knowing KU has jayhawk0034, ukanjox, hawksquawk, JayDogger, Jhawkrulz dependin' on "University of Kansas" too?
Am I wrong to hunger for the gentleness of "Kansas University's" sound, knowing KU has someone else at home who needs " University of Kansas" just as much?
Am I wrong to give my love to an unsanctioned name? And am I wrong for trying to hold on to the best thing I ever had?
If lovin' "Kansas University" is so wrong, I don't want to be right. If loving "Kansas University" is so wrong, baby, I just can't be right.

Where I dont get the uproar is that every article, email, sign, news release I see FROM THE UNIVERSITY refers to itself as KU. Or the University of Kansas. If they themselves routinely refer to themselves as KU -- as virtually every email and piece of mail I get from the alumni association, the athletic department, and the University itself does, why does anyone on here take issue with that?
Laying blame at the feet of the LJW is laughable. Blame the University if your all ate up about it. Crikey.

Charlotte is potentially one of the worst teams in any major sport in America. Please, please, please let them choose another player.
It would be better to fall in the draft, lose a little signing money, but have a longer and more enjoyable career, than to end up with the Bobcats.
Off topic, but only slightly... How dumb was it to expand back to Charlotte? They had a team, the Hornets, that they didn't care about (even when they were decent). So the Hornets packed up and hit New Orleans. So when it comes time to pick cities to expand into, they declared Charlotte prime NBA ground? It is Duke/UNC ground.
Move the Bobcats to Seattle, shift the Hornets to playing in the East, and move the MaGoof Bros. to Las Vegas.
Then somebody spike Stern's kool-aid with anthrax, boom, NBA fixed.
BayHawkaholic 11 months ago
Me likes your MaGoof Bros nickname! Refresh my memory . . . why did the sonics move to okc? Any talk of KC getting a team for the Sprint Center?
Krohnutz 11 months ago
The Sonics moved at the behest of their OKC owner. The city refused to upgrade their stadium (which really was in need of an overhaul, I've heard rumors of pieces of the ceiling occasionally dropping rock chunks in the walkways) so that was all the leverage he needed to allow the move. Couple that with the one season the Hornets were displaced in OKC, and how crazy the fans were, it made sense. Leave a town that the city couldn't care less if you lived or died, move into a town that is crazy to have something after football and was willing to spend mega bucks on an updated facility in downtown OKC... People blame him, but looking at it that way, can we really?
Alas, I cannot take credit for the name MaGoofs, I heard that name circulated around the Bill Simmons talk.
And I have heard nothing about Kansas City getting a team since the Orlando/Indiana rumors died. The problem is, right now, the NBA actually needs to contract a couple teams (like Charlotte, for one). Stern's ego won't allow contraction, however, the owners know better than to expand into another "small" market like Kansas City. My guess is, we will continue to see our slate of preseason exposure games, but that no serious consideration for a team will occur anytime soon. At this point, I think our only hope is an Orlando coup.
(As a side note, my buddy from the Air Force still resides in Sac, is a huge Kings fan, and the feeling there is that Stern is "allowing" the MaGoofs to not move to Las Vegas, but instead steering them towards Seattle)

Thomas could be a key player for the bobcats, but he couldn't turn them into a reputable program. He would become a much more well known player if he came off the bench for a much better team.
Krohnutz 11 months ago
A friend of mine is a Cav's fan (yeah she can be depressed during the season....) and she is in love with Thomas Robinson. Her explanations were not necessarily basketball fundamentals, but to be honest, I'm not sure that doesn't hold more water than "6' 9" and he can really jump" or "has a great first step to the basket."
She basically said "Robinson feels like he should be winning. He hates to lose. He works his ass off to get better. He has the attitude to not take $hit off anybody. There is no chance he comes into the league and just takes a paycheck, he wants to win. I want him on my team."
I think her assessment sounds about right. Coming from an Ohio State fan who is supposed to be all homer-fied for Sullinger, I thought it said something about T-Rob.
ralster 11 months ago
Krohnutz, Good comment. Just like the '08 Final Four game was good for B.Rush+Shady, it was bad for Tyler Hansdouche (exposed). So I totally agree that in the Final Four game vs. Ohio State, not only did Sullinger look slow, out of shape, and the last one back (it was pathetic and sad, actually), that game showed anybody that didnt already know it what a dynamo TRob really is. He is even faster to the rim when driving the ball than Marcus Morris was. Definite will to win. Definite talent with upside--he only blossomed his jr year at KU. Sullinger is of course a close friend of TRob, so I know they are pulling for each other. But Sullinger could really have used Hudy+Danny. TRob got the benefit of both. Of course what is irreplaceable is the fire that burns inside of TRob. No. Plays. Off.
RCJH, Mr Robinson!
ralster 11 months ago
Tell me something I didnt already know, watching Drummond play and TRob play (both during college games): TRob >> Drummond. No way Drummond keeps up with TRob. Thats the advantage TRob takes into the NBA. He is damn-quick for a forward. Maybe even quicker than Shady, who rarely put in on the deck. I also dont think Drummond has a lot of shooting range, nor does Sully. Watch party for TRob June 28 (& Tyshawn)!!!
HighEliteMajor 11 months ago
I agree with TRob over Drummond .. is there a quicker KU big in the last 20 years? I don't think so. Collison had that quick little drop step, but I think TRob is the quickest true big since Roy took over.
The guy I really like is Royce White. Was there a more impressive player in the Big 12? I think he'll translate to an effective pro. And where he's projected, in the late teens, seems like a steal.
It will be surprising to me if TT lasts to the second round. A couple mocks have him in the first, draft express at 27 to the Pacers. It would be great for him to land in the first round (and for KU basketball).

"The guy I really like is Royce White. Was there a more impressive player in the Big 12?"
Considering that TRob was the only consensus All-American, All Conference, All Everything, I would think he was considerably more impressive.
