Thomas Robinson - F - Trail Blazers

Thomas Robinson tied his career high with 15 points and six buckets (6-of-9) on Wednesday, and set a season high with eight boards.

He also had a steal and a block in his 17 minutes off the bench and he helped pick up Nicolas Batum's slack, as Batum was just 3-of-10 for nine points tonight. This is the hottest T-Rob has been since he was clocked going 107 in his car a couple weeks ago, but he's still not worth picking up in standard leagues.

Thomas Robinson - F - Trail Blazers

Blazers F Thomas Robinson was ticketed for driving 107 mph in a 55 mph zone on Friday morning.

The 22-year-old was "polite and cooperative" and won't face any repercussions beyond a $1,150 fine. His offensive game still needs plenty of polish, but he rebounded well this preseason and should earn consistent minutes as LaMarcus Aldridge's primary backup. Portland already picked up his $3.7 million for the 2014-15 season, which gives them extra incentive to feed him minutes.

Thomas Robinson - F - Trail Blazers

With LaMarcus Aldridge (knee) unavailable, Thomas Robinson played 24 minutes and finished Sunday's victory with 14 points, eight boards and three assists.

Better yet, Robinson made 6-of-8 shots without a single turnover, and he had a nasty put-back dunk that has already been turned into a GIF (follow the link). Aldridge isn't expected to be out for long but T-Rob has proven himself a capable emergency fill-in, something fantasy owners should keep in mind throughout the season.

Thomas Robinson - F - Trail Blazers

Thomas Robinson was ejected from Wednesday's game after picking up his second technical foul before halftime.

The ejection didn't seem warranted and this won't do anything to assuage Robinson, who said this week that he's "pissed off" and has been disrespected since coming to the NBA. Portland already picked up his 2014-15 option and he'll need to play solid minutes as a backup PF if the Blazers are going to make the playoffs.

Thomas Robinson said that he feels disrespected and is "pissed off" about last season.

"A lot of people don't know the ins and outs of this business. That's how it works, man," Robinson said. "There's no point in even talking about it. That's the way things work. I'm just ready to play." He did play with a chip on his shoulder in summer league for the Blazers. Robinson ranked third in boards per game and looked terrific in transition while in Las Vegas. He'll back up LaMarcus Aldridge, who sustained a left quad strain on Thursday.

The Trail Blazers have picked up Thomas Robinson's $3.7 million option for the 2014-15 season.

Robinson was acquired from the Rockets in a salary-dump this summer. He should serve a useful role backing up LaMarcus Aldridge as part of a revamped second unit in Portland, and the Blazers made a low-risk bet that he'll improve on last year's 4.8 points and 4.5 rebounds in 15 minutes per game.

Thomas Robinson said he feels "wanted" with his new team in Portland.

"I feel wanted there, which is a good thing," Robinson said. "They are young, especially with the main core guys, so I will try to go in there, find a spot to help the team." He looked like a new player in summer league and brought a ton of energy. Specifically, Robinson looked unstoppable in transition and showed great instincts on the glass. T-Rob still has a long way to turn around his career and he'll start the year as LaMarcus Aldridge's backup.

Thomas Robinson - F - Trail Blazers

Thomas Robinson pulled down seven offensive boards in Thursday's loss to the Suns, finishing with 14 points, 11 boards and three blocks on 5-of-13 shooting.

He is making a clear effort in his battle on the boards and he's done a much better job of anticipating when a shot is about to be attempt, which has led to his improved positioning. Robinson has been one of the most eye-catching players in Las Vegas and ranks third in rebounding. We've been saying it all week, but we'll need to see T-Rob post some nice lines against stiffer competition before getting too excited about his upcoming season.

Thomas Robinson played 29 minutes against the Bulls on Tuesday, scoring 12 points with 18 boards, two assists, one steal, one block and four turnovers on 4-of-9 from the field.

He had a big game and the Blazers were dominant on the boards, winning the rebounding battle 51-29. Robinson displayed the athleticism of a small forward for most of this game, defending Tony Snell and hustled down the floor in transition. As nice as this game was, it'll be tough to overlook his disastrous rookie season. We'll be keeping an eye on him, though.

Thomas Robinson is averaging 6.5 points, 9.0 rebounds and 3.5 turnovers through two Summer League games, while shooting 29.4 percent from the field.

It's a tiny sample size but it underscores what Blazers assistant coach David Vanterpool said about T-Rob this weekend. "[Robinson] has to be consistent with his effort," he said. "His motor, sometimes it's up really at a high level; at other times, it starts to wane." Robinson admitted that his offense is "still a work in progress," but he has an ideal chance to develop his skills as LaMarcus Aldridge's backup.

Thomas Robinson - F - Trail Blazers

While announcing the acquisition of Thomas Robinson from the Rockets, Blazers GM Neil Olshey said Robinson's development is a "priority."

"[Robinson] has the potential to be one of the best young forwards in the league," said Olshey. "His development will be a priority for us." T-Rob didn't fare too well as a rookie, finishing with a 10.9 Player Efficiency Rating and a lousy 45.1 percent true shooting percentage, while turning the ball over at a startlingly high rate. With LaMarcus Aldridge and Robin Lopez manning the middle, Portland can afford to bring Robinson along slowly.

Thomas Robinson will join the Blazers in Summer League after the NBA moratorium concludes on July 10.

He was solid in Summer League last year, averaging 13.0 points and 9.8 boards with the Kings. It's hard to believe that last year's fifth pick in the draft has already been traded twice and he's surely hoping to make a big impression on his new team. Robinson could have an opportunity for minutes with J.J. Hickson in Denver.

Thomas Robinson - F - Trail Blazers

The Rockets have traded Thomas Robinson to the Blazers in exchange for two future second-round picks and the draft rights to Kostas Papanikolau and Marko Todorovic, according to Yahoo! Sports.

The Rockets were always expected to unload Robinson's contract, clearing salary cap space for their all-out pursuit of Dwight Howard. The only question was where he'd land, and Portland jumped to acquire a talented young big man they can develop behind LaMarcus Aldridge (or possibly groom to replace him if he agitates for a trade). It's not ideal for fantasy purposes, however, and T-Rob should go undrafted as long as Aldridge is on the Blazers' roster.

The Bulls would flip Thomas Robinson to another team if they acquired him on or before draft night, according to ESPN's Marc Stein.

Stein reported earlier Wednesday the Bulls could deal the No. 20 pick for Robinson, who was the fifth overall selection last year at this time. It's stunning how quickly his stock has fallen, but the Rockets are desperately attempting to clear space to land Dwight Howard in free agency. The Cavs are also rumored to have interest in Robinson.
