2. Jerome Robinson, SG, Boston College

If there is going to be a good late-round sleeper in the 2018 NBA Draft, it is going to be Jerome Robinson out of Boston College. Robinson is not as highly touted as the other guys on this list and will the chances of him being available with the 25th overall pick is immensely high.

While not a lot of people know about Robinson, he is a very solid shooting guard that was hidden from the national limelight due to Boston College’s struggles. And while he never played for a successful program, Robinson proved that he can be a difference maker at the NBA level.

First and foremost, he fits the agenda of having college experience. Robinson is also coming off of his junior season and is coming off of a good one at that. Robinson averaged 20.7 points, 3.6 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game last year.

The important thing to note about Robinson is his efficiency at scoring the basketball. Last year, Robinson shot 53.3 percent from the field and 40.9 percent from beyond the arc. In today’s NBA, that kind of scoring efficiency is extremely valuable.

And while he needs some ironing out to become a complete player, he can also act as a spark plug off of the bench that can score in bunches. With an already solid defensive backcourt (assuming LA signs Paul George), scoring should be more valuable to the Lakers than defense.

Again, Robinson is not as recognized as his peers. Wasserman has him as a top 30 prospect, however, Tankathon has him outside of the top 60.
