Late Wednesday night, rookie guard Jerome Robinson was in Ontario playing with the Clippers’ G League affiliate.
The next morning he was at the Clippers’ Playa Vista training facility working out before coach Doc Rivers arrived.
Given few opportunities to crack the Clippers’ rotation, Robinson has spent the first weeks of the season carving out repetitions whenever he can.
“I’m so impressed with Jerome,” Rivers said. “He has the thirst and the drive to be a good player and he will be.”
Rivers’ prediction may yet come true but for the moment Robinson is still seeking consistent minutes, which has led the team to assign him to play in home games with the Agua Caliente Clippers.
