No its not. He was the most talented player
Look, I watched Lillard play quite a bit in college, and I couldn't predict he would be this good. When a player comes from a smaller conference, and as a result, doesn't play many games against the bigger schools, its hard to find a true measuring stick. He looked like an elite athlete to me, but unless I see him on the floor up against other elite athlete's, Its hard to predict. Now, as Bricky said, hindesight is 100%. I think I became positive about Lillard at summer league. After that, there was no doubt in my mind that this kid was going to be a very good player in the league. He was one of the best players there, hands down!
I will admit that Robinson wasn't my first or my second choice, but I couldn't fault the Kings for picking him at five. The tantilizing player of course was Drummond, and he was a risky pick, and anyone that doesn't think, so is just blowing smoke. But, it was one of those high risk, high reward type things. I wouldn't have been upset if the Kings had taken him, but after watching him play in highschool and then one year at UCONN, I can certainly understand teams passing on him. Right now, that looks like a mistake, but lets wait a couple of years before passing total judgement.
I still think that Robinson's best position down the road might be SF. He's athletic enough for the position. He has good ballhandling skills, that should improve, and he has a nice looking, but inconsistent jumpshot, that should also get better. At SF he wouldn't be undersized, and would be one of the stronger SF's in the league, and a SF that could post up other SF's, similiar to Melo. And please, I'm not implying that he's the next Melo.
