New Maine Red Claw Thomas Robinson is hoping for another chance in the NBA.
“I’m better at knowing the things I need to do to be great at that level and help teams win,” Robinson told Boston.com in a phone conversation Tuesday evening.
A consensus first-team All-American at Kansas, Robinson was selected fifth overall by the Sacramento Kings in 2012 draft, yet he never found his footing as a pro. The 6-foot-9 power forward bounced around the league, playing for six teams in five years, before heading overseas to continue his career.
After a year with BC Khimki in Russia, Robinson signed with — but was subsequently waived by — the Atlanta Hawks at the start of this season.
