Former University of Kansas power forward Thomas Robinson was cut by the NBA’s Atlanta Hawks on Saturday, the team announced.
The 6-foot-10, 240-pound Robinson, 27, averaged 3.3 points and 5.7 minutes per game in three exhibition contests for the Hawks. C.J. Anderson and R.J. Hunter also were waived on Saturday by Atlanta.
“At the outset, it appeared at least possible that Robinson would have a chance to make Atlanta’s roster, particularly given the team’s injuries and lack of frontcourt depth,” writes Brad Rowland of peachtreehooops.com. “However, the former No. 5 overall pick (in 2012 draft) appeared in only limited duty in three preseason games, leaving very little room to make an on-court impression.
