If the New York Knicks are looking for a sleeper to invest in, then Boston College Eagles star Jerome Robinson is a prospect to know. He’s a skilled and dynamic combo guard who has the tools to be an impact player as soon as his rookie season.

I can’t quite tell if he’ll be a starter in the NBA, but if he does indeed come off the bench, Robinson could be a perennial Sixth Man of the Year candidate.

Robinson stands at 6’5″, but at 188 pounds with a 6’7.25″ wingspan, he isn’t the best defensive fit at the shooting guard position. He could easily be classified as an oversized point guard, but his skill set lends best to a system that allows him to work both with and without the ball.

Alongside Frank Ntilikina, Robinson would enable David Fizdale to run the positionless system that he believes can return the Knicks to the glory years.

Robinson was a knockdown shooter in 2017-18, converting 81 three-point field goals on 40.9 percent shooting. It was the second time in three years that he was above 38 percent, which implies that he can be trusted to make the transition to the next level.

Robinson is a scorer who can shoot the lights out, as well as a capable distributor. He could be a Jamal Murray type of prospect for the Knicks if they trade up for a second first-round pick.
