Craig Robinson is much more than just Michelle Obama’s brother. But that doesn’t hurt.
On Monday, the Bucks announced the hiring of Craig Robinson (not that one) as their new Vice President of Player and Organizational Development, a role meant to help the Bucks better develop their young talent personally and professionally, both now and into their post-playing days.
On paper, the former Ivy League player of the year seems uniquely suited to the challenge: after a star career at Princeton and brief playing career overseas, Robinson later spent a decade as a successful trader and investment banker before returning to basketball as an assistant at Northwestern and head coach at Brown and Oregon State.
