CBB Transfer Portal: 5 Landing Spots for Jaxson Robinson

5. NBA Draft

The 2024 NBA Draft is a real possibility for Jaxson Robinson. When he entered the draft, he made it very clear that he intended to do everything possible to pursue the NBA as his next destination. Robinson earned an invitation to the NBA Combine but failed to impress and reportedly struggled with the speed of the game. He was one of several upperclassmen who hoped to take advantage of a weak draft class but ultimately failed to showcase themselves at the combine. He could still stay in the draft, but it appears he is a bit of a long shot to get drafted.

2. BYU Cougars

New head coach Kevin Young is doing his best to ensure the BYU Cougars can keep Jaxson Robinson if the current Big 12 Sixth Man of the Year pulls his name from the NBA Draft. Robinson aims to reach the NBA, and Young has spent the better part of the past two decades immersed in that world. Young has served as a coach in the NBA Development League and then became an assistant for the Philadelphia 76ers and Phoenix Suns. Young was the highest-paid assistant coach in the NBA in 2023 and has the experience and knowledge to sell Robinson on a return to BYU to be an anchor of his attack in 2024.

3. Kansas Jayhawks

The Kansas Jayhawks had been out of the market for a difference-making guard. Still, Florida transfer Riley Kugel pulled his commitment and then switched to Mississippi State, leaving a hole in the lineup for the Jayhawks. They also missed on incoming five-star freshman Liam McNeeley and are looking for more offensive firepower on the perimeter to make a run at an NCAA Championship in 2024-2025. If Jaxson Robinson is interested in returning to college and competing for a title, the best situation is likely in Lawrence. Bill Self knows how to use players like Robinson, and he saw him up close last season when Robinson starred at BYU.

4. Texas Longhorns

Jaxson Robinson is originally from Oklahoma, and if he wanted to return to the region he once called home, the Texas Longhorns need the perimeter. They could offer Robinson a featured role in the offense. Texas did not diligently recruit Robinson out of high school, but that was a different staff, and the transfer portal and NIL market make those potentially hurt feelings a thing of the past. Texas is headed to the SEC and would offer Robinson a chance to play in the spotlight and with the opportunity to put a lot of shots up.
