THOMAS ROBINSON
FIRST TEAM ALL AMERICAN
ALL-MET ELITE
Kansas forward Thomas Robinson has even more in common with Blake Griffin now. Not everything, though.
Robinson, who played through personal tragedy as a sophomore reserve, capped his junior season by being a unanimous selection to The Associated Press All-America team Monday, a day after leading the Jayhawks to the Final Four.
The 6-foot-10-inch Robinson averaged 17.9 points and 11.8 rebounds this season and he was a first-team pick by all 65 members of the national media panel that selects the weekly Top 25.
The last unanimous pick was Griffin in 2009.
“It’s a blessing to be named even in the same category as Blake Griffin,’’ Robinson said. “For that to happen, I’m glad all the hard work is paying off.’’
