Jeremiah Robinson-Earl Highlights
Jeremiah Robinson-Earl Draft Profile
Strengths
When breaking down the game of Jeremiah Robinson-Earl, it’s hard not to start on the defensive end. His versatility is truly special. Robinson-Earl possesses the size and strength to tangle with the trees down low as well as the lateral quickness to switch onto smaller guards. He is an intelligent off-ball defender as well. Similar versatility can also be seen in Robinson-Earl’s offensive game. He has great footwork and finishing ability near the rim but can also relocate for spot-up 3-pointers beyond the arc. He is a skilled passer and excellent rebounder.
Weaknesses
As a shooter, Robinson-Earl is rather inconsistent. He also struggles mightily to hit contested shots. Working to improve his pull-up jumper and expand his solid interior footwork to other areas of the court will be key at the NBA level. Robinson-Earl also lacks elite athleticism, something that is probably hurting his 2021 NBA Draft stock. It also leaves him susceptible at times defensively both on the interior and in one-on-one on-ball situations.
