Robinson told MLive.com (Michigan Local News) that he would workout with the Hawks on Tuesday and then the Charlotte Hornets on Thursday.
The Hawks own the 15th pick in the 2014 NBA draft, as well as the 43rd pick in the second round.
The 6’7″ forward averaged 13.1 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.3 assists for the Wolverines last season. He was also named to the All-Big Ten freshman team in 2013 and as a All-Big Ten honorable mention in 2013 and 2014.
The post-lottery edition of the FanSided NBA Mock Draft has Robinson going 28th to the Los Angeles Clippers and Zach LaVine out of UCLA landing with Atlanta.
According to ESPN.com, Johnny O’Bryant of LSU will workout for the team on Wednesday. Kyle Anderson of UCLA and DeAndre Daniels of Connecticut will be in on Thursday.
Robinson is also said to have drawn interest from the Milwaukee Bucks, Chicago Bulls and San Antonio Spurs.
The Bucks certainly won’t use their No. 2 pick on the forward, but could snag the son of former Buck great Glen Robinson if he were to fall to the second round. Milwaukee currently owns the No. 31, 36 and 48 picks.
Chicago owns the No. 16, 19 and 48 picks, while San Antonio is locked in with the last picks in both the first and second rounds.
