![]() The Associated Press Here's what Forbes had to say: 'At 21, Robinson could be considered an elder statesman next to many of the other potential top-20 picks. Because of his extended experience, he may not have as much upside as other prospects, but he should be able to provide steady, reliable guard play immediately as a rookie.' SPORTS ILLUSTRATED: Robinson Forbes wasn't the only magazine who saw a potential fit with Robinson. ![]() Setting Automatic Replies, toggling flags and syncing categories, inbox rules and drafts are now available, providing a great Outlook experience whether you prefer to work in an app or on the web.

'Robinson is among the prospects in consideration here for Milwaukee, and has become a first-round lock during the pre-draft process with his scoring ability, ability to play on or off the ball, and strong intangibles. His shooting and offensive versatility fits well in the backcourt next to Giannis Antetokounmpo, and he creates his own shot well off the dribble, changes speeds well and can put the ball in the basket from all three levels. Robinson needs to improve defensively, but appears a good bet to figure out a role and stick. He should become a stabilizing offensive factor in someone’s rotation. Depending on which players fall to this spot, the Bucks are also in position to trade down.' Speaking of trading down, check out Matt Velasquez's explainer on the options facing the Bucks, including some considerations for other parts of the roster. RELATED: Besides pick, Bucks face other decisions on draft night ESPN: Mitchell Robinson, C, no college. Huh, AP No relation to Jerome, and this is a risky but interesting possibility floated by ESPN. Robinson went through a bit of a soap opera when he committed to Western Kentucky, arrived on campus, elected not to stay but couldn't transfer without waiting so wound up disappearing off the basketball map for a while. 'Just like Thon Maker two years ago and Giannis Antetokounmpo before that, drafting Robinson is a high-risk, high-reward play. Like them, Robinson played neither college basketball nor at a high level internationally, giving scouts (and statistical projections) relatively little to go on. However, his strong play in the 2016 Nike EYBL showcased Robinson's potential to develop into a Clint Capela-esque rim runner and protector. 'How he fits: The Bucks struggled to find a consistent option at center after trading Greg Monroe early last season. Maker was inconsistent and John Henson missed the final five games of Milwaukee's first-round loss to Boston with a sore back, leaving the position to Maker and journeyman Tyler Zeller. Among that group, Robinson could compete for minutes right away.' HOOPS HYPE: Lonnie Walker, SG, Miami. Kirby Lee, USA TODAY Sports Gary Parrish thinks the Bucks will go with a different guard. 'Brown developed a reputation in high school as somebody who values defense and could reasonably play at least three positions at the collegiate level, and he showed flashes of that at Oregon while averaging 11.3 points, 6.2 rebounds and 3.2 assists in 31.5 minutes per game. If he can develop a consistent 3-point shot – Brown only shot 29.1 percent from beyond the arc this season – he'll be capable of providing the versatility NBA franchises crave while flourishing at both forward positions.
