IT is excellent at the pick and roll. I see a lot of lob passes coming from IT to Robinson. When teams seal off IT from driving by fronting their man, Robinson is going to back door and slam. I'd like to see a race between Robinson and Griffin down the floor. Both guys can motor.

I don't think enough has been said about Robinson's defense. Although he's not a premier shotblocker, he plays excellent on the ball defense, and is very good at defending the pick and roll, something that was lacking last year. As noted, he's lightning quick, and I think most of the PF's in the league will trouble staying in front of him. He needs to improve his handles some more, but all things in good time.
