Jerome Robinson screams talent that mirrors Malcom Brogdon, can the Milwaukee Bucks make another great choice at the guard position?
Robinson showed his leadership at Boston College and played through the ball, shooting close to 41 percent from three, averaging close to 21 points per game. Those stats alone would jump off the page, but not for Robinson – who seems to be under everyone’s radar. This is where the Bucks front office comes in and makes their steal draft choice.
The obvious question here is if the Bucks even need another guard? They might be losing Jabari Parker, so any scoring depth helps right now. Also, Malcom Brogdon was hurt for the majority of last season, almost stopping the Bucks from making the playoffs. Making Robinson an obvious choice at the 17th pick.
Jerome Robinson has flashes of Avery Bradley and Jeremy Lamb, both athletic guards who can play efficiently on both sides of the ball. Another guard to handle the ball and play defense, helps the Bucks take some stress off The Greek Freak and on to some other guards like Malcom.
If the Bucks don’t make this choice, there will be a lucky team to choose Robinson with one of their later picks. If the Bucks decide to go bland with his pick, expect them to have a lot of picks in the teens over the next few years.
