Kellen Robinson has game.
That much became clear in this most recent summer circuit when the younger brother of Arkansas basketball player KK Robinson played up a year on the 15U Arkansas Hawks and shot 48% from the field and 56% from the three-point line during a five-game span.
That he could average 17 points in that span was extraordinary considering he was the first eighth-grader to ever play with the 15 and under team in the 23-year-old history of the Hawks program.
“I’ve never had an eighth-grader play up with the 15s,” Hawks founder Bill Ingram told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette’s Richard Davenport in July.
