April 9, 2012 – The Hoop Doctors
After being stuck on the bench behind Marcus and Markieff Morris last year, Thomas Robinson had a chance to show the world what he was made of this year. He was runner up for player of the year and a sure-fire top 5 pick.
KU coach Bill Self confirmed to the Journal-World on Sunday that Robinson would be turning pro. Self indicated he would say no more until the news conference.
The news of the 6-foot-10 Robinson’s leaving, of course, comes as no shock. It has long been believed Robinson would be entering his name in the 2012 NBA Draft following this, his junior season.
