Russell Robinson

Apart from the people on it, Robinson has the best chances of anyone on this list of making the Pacers roster. They sorely need a point guard, and Robinson has become a very good one. He cracked the NBA last year when he signed with the Cleveland Cavaliers for training camp, but did not make the team and returned to the D-League, at first with the Reno Bighorns and then with the Maine Red Claws. R-Rob averaged 16.4 points with Reno and 16.3 with Maine, and he shot 38% from three with Reno and 37% from three with Maine. He shot four and a half three pointers per game on the season; the days of Russell Robinson the passer are fading away. In fact, he may have gone too far the other way now, for he averaged only 3.7 apg with the Bighorns (with a 1:1 assist/turnover ratio). But the defense is still there, and now he has the complimentary three point shot to go with that. He is a solid all-around player who might have the perfect opportunity.

Kansas guard Russell Robinson finally cracked the NBA this year when he signed with the Cleveland Cavaliers for training camp. He did not make the team and returned to the D-League, at first with the Reno Bighorns and then with the Maine Red Claws after being traded for Will Blalock. R-Rob averaged 16.4 points with Reno and 16.3 with Maine, and he shot 38% from three with Reno and 37% from three with Maine. He shot four and a half three pointers per game on the season; the days of Russell Robinson the passer are fading away. In fact, he may have gone too far the other way now, for he averaged only 3.7 apg with the Bighorns (with a 1:1 a/to ratio). But the defense is still there, and now that he has the complimentary three point shot to go with that, Robinson is on the cusp of the NBA. It's now a question of how long he can tolerate D-League paychecks.
