    Yes I have also heard of this from a source and dont like it at all. We need G-Rob. I believe he has only played 4 regular season games this year. And personally I dont and never had like Buckner's game. He isnt one of the players that takes really bad shots, but he doesnt fit well with the team. I never saw a great game of his or a great play set up by him. He is just another guy on the bench. Basically said by that, he isnt worth being on the 76ers. We need a solid back-up SG/SF that can score.

    Also to go along with G-Rob being out, more players have to continue to keep stepping up to help out AI. Such as Eric, Kenny, DC, MJack, Salmons, you know the crew. They need to help on scoring and especially defense which is something G-Rob isnt very good at and what Sixers have struggled over many years.

    I haven't been following him closely. Has he really been living up to his hype?

    Hard to say. Of his four games his scoring was great and decent. I think he will be a big scoring threat for Philadelphia this year, but the question is, when will he start playing D? That is what Philly needs the most right now. Some big solid defenders.

    Another question hard to answer. Kieth tries hard on defense but still turns out too soft and lacks agression. G-Rob, if trained and taught well has the ultimate body for defense. He could be a great shot-blocker, rebounder, and hey maybe even steal and go down on fast breaks. Van Horn takes his big tall body for granted and doesnt use it to get pts down low and get in the paint for the rebs. So to sum up your answer, No. G-Rob is on my list infront of Kieth.

    Sorry to tell you but Robinson will never play any D.However at least he has the balls to step up unlike Van Horn.

    This is bad, G-Rob is actin like a *****... anke sprain man? are you seriously gonna be out for this long with an ankle sprain?

    I like G-Rob, he has a pretty good shot but lacks defense. He has size and he is better than a lot of SF's. I don't think Buckner will do to well, but all this means is that Allen Iverson must push his game up for Sixers to get the W's.

    Robinson will never, ever be any of those things, no matter how many Scooby-Snacks you give him.

    Haha nice one. Now I am seeing your all point of view of having him never. Just remembering he has been in the league for what? 11 years? And never plays good defense. Well he is waisting his size for D, but still we have him as a great offensive threat.

    No, the question is: Will he start playing at all?

    Sadly you are true. Does anyone have the 411 when hes coming back. We Philly fans were excited to see him play this season and put up some pts with AI, but now hes sitting out [​IMG]
