Devin Robinson, SF, Florida

Devin Robinson is another interesting player.

The junior small forward has great size for a wing at 6-foot-8, with almost a seven-foot wingspan. On the year, he holds averages of 11.4 points and 6.3 rebounds on a tidy 52.7 percent shooting from the floor. Robinson has extended his range to the three-point line this season, converting on a career-high 39.4 percent of his looks from deep.

DX currently has him slated as an early second round pick, but with continued success in the NCAA Tournament, he could easily move up to the first round. Thus far in postseason play, Robinson has upped his numbers to 16.3 points, 9.3 rebounds and 1.7 three-pointers per game.

The Florida Gator has elite three-and-D potential, provided his improved shooting from beyond the arc is sustainable. Head coach Mike White trusts Robinson to guard positions 1-4, and there’s nothing to say he can’t do the same at the next level.

He would also give Miami more size on the perimeter, which they desperately lack, and his height and leaping ability could allow him to eventually play some small-ball power forward, as well.

If he does ultimately get selected in the second round, he may end up being the steal of the draft.
