Los Angeles Lakers are the latest team to welcome Thomas Robinson, who hopes his playing time is up and his travel time is down

LOS ANGELES — Someone was asking Thomas Robinson about the way he helps the young Lakers.

Thomas Robinson is 25 years old.

“Most people think I’m at least three years older,” he said. “Most people think I’m 28 or 30.”

In NBA mileage, he might be. He was the No. 5 pick in the 2012 NBA draft after three 6ears at Kansas. The Lakers are his sixth place of NBA residence in that time.

In one sense, that means six teams wanted him, but Robinson was out there as a free agent when the Lakers picked him up.
