We could definitely use the inside presence. Here's a decent article on him:

When it comes to pure rebounding, this guy is truly great. He can get the ball off the glass with everyone. A possible Žižić replacement.

I'm onboard - Robinson's never going to justify his draft position but he's still only 26 and a solid banger and rebounder who's bounced around mostly terrible teams for years. He could play a useful part as a role player for a good organization like ours.  Always reminded me a bit of a bigger Leon Powe.

Hard to get too excited about that.  I really like him coming out of college but wow.  After 5 years, his high water mark is 5 pts and 5 rebs.    Just shows you what a crap shoot even a top 5 draft pick can be.  5 seems to be his number, they should give him #5.

Worth a look though of course.  Maybe at 26, he will turn the corner.

I like it. He makes more sense as a younger, mobile bench big who can board rather than someone like Bogut.

He is also pretty close to Morris.

What can we offer him for a contract? Do we have any exceptions left or is it just the vet minimum?

I wonder why he is still available, seems like great value if he's only going to cost ~ a couple mill.

He can rebound but is undersized, isn't much of a defender, and is a zero on offense. He's fine as an end of the bench guy, I guess.

A strong, strong pass. Did any NBA team show interest at all this offseason? Honestly, Sully's NBA career might be done at this point.

A good infusion of youth for this team. A strong 6'9 PF who likes to mix it up.  Got nice long arms. Short of coming in for 12-18 minutes a game and getting us 3-4 rebounds and a put back or two I don't expect much. Nice energy addition though.
