What stood out most about Robinson was his positional size. Despite being one of the tallest players on the floor, he played a ton with the ball in his hands, showing off good offensive skill. The foward is an above average handler and shooter for a player with his size.

Evaluations are normally subscriber-only but when an athlete subscribes, theirs becomes free for all readers. Subscribing doesn't change who the Scout covers, it changes who gets to see it.

Hearns is a player that has impressed every time I’ve walked in to watch him play. It was no different during the JV game I saw. The wing was able to score around the basket, while showing a nice outside shooting touch.
