Harden thinks Thomas Robinson will be fit in with Portland
Thomas Robinson had a nice Summer League in Las Vegas. He’s a plus rebounder that not only gets the balls in his position but also takes them away from other guys, and he averaged 12.8 rebounds a game. He also averaged 10.4 points and 1.2 blocks through five games.However,[url=http://www.christianlouboutindiscountmen.com/]christian louboutin discount[/url], the shooting woes were still there — he shot 37 percent. He struggled to either finish inside or consistently hit a midrange jumper.Genuine concerns about if he could overcome those shooting woes and take care of the ball (he can be turnover prone) are why the No. 5 pick from the 2012 daft — a guy taken in front of Damian Lillard and Harrison Barnes — was traded from Sacramento to Houston, then from Houston to Portland in a salary dump (so they could sign Dwight Howard).I don’t know if you can actually make a comeback after just one year in the league, but Robinson is going to try to revive his career as the backup to LaMarcus Aldridge in Portland this season.James Harden told Chris Haynes of CSNNW.com that he thinks Robinson can do it.“He's a beast, man. The league better get ready,” Harden told CSNNW.com. “He knows what his job is, he knows what he's great at and he does it to the best of his ability. T-Rob is a very hard worker, an excellent rebounder and he's definitely skilled for someone of his size. I have no doubt about it that he'll turn his career around in Portland.”It’s going to take some time, Portland needs to focus on player development with him and let it play out for a couple years. The guy can rebound and the athleticism is not in question, but he just has to get more comfortable scoring at the NBA level and taking care of the ball. He has to value possessions more.Harden thinks Robinson can do it.“Oh he'll definitely stick in this league,[url=http://www.guccioutletuks.co.uk/]gucci outlet uk[/url],” Harden said. “He has a great chance. He has so much upside. That motivates him, other teams giving up on him. He has the chance to do something special and I believe he'll get it done.”
