(BYU: Guard, Senior, 6-7)
HoopsHype Draft Predictor Rating: 65
Jaxson Robinson, the Huge 12 Sixth Man of the Yr at BYU, adopted head coach Mark Pope to Kentucky for his ultimate 12 months of eligibility.
“Robinson has been some of the improved gamers within the nation for 2 straight years and is barely scratching the floor of his potential,” Pope mentioned. “His development trajectory is unbelievable. He’s an elite-level shooter, is more and more harmful off the bounce and on the rim, and has the potential to turn into a big-time playmaker. Jaxson guards with size and steadiness and understands how necessary it’s to construct robust relationships along with his teammates. On a private stage, I’m so excited I get to complete his school journey with him in pursuit of Kentucky’s ninth nationwide championship.”
Robinson has risen to the event in huge video games, akin to scoring 25 factors within the NCAA Event towards Duquesne and – in arguably BYU’s six most notable victories final season – Robinson averaged 16.8 factors on 41.5 % from 3-point vary and sank 16 of 17 free throws in wins towards Kansas, Baylor, Texas, Iowa State, San Diego State, and NC State.
