Clayton State’s Robinson Selected Division II Bulletin Honorable Mention All-American
April 1, 2011
MORROW, Ga. – After a banner season in which he was at the top of the Peach Belt Conference in scoring, Clayton State’s Brandon Robinson received the ultimate honor this week – Division II All-American.
In its April postseason addition, Division II Bulletin released its 2010-11 Division II All-American team for men’s basketball, and Robinson was selected as an honorable mention Division II All-American. Robinson becomes only the second player in the history of Clayton State men’s basketball to garner All-American honors, joining former Laker great Robert Conley, who was a Daktronics Division II third team All-American selection in 1999.
Robinson is also the first Clayton State All-American under current Laker head coach Gordon Gibbons.
A 6-foot-6, 180-pound senior from Lake Wales, Fla., Robinson led the Peach Belt Conference in scoring, averaging 20 points a game as the Lakers finished up 19-10 overall and 10-7 in the Peach Belt. He scored in double-figures in every game this season for the Lakers. Three times, he has scored 30 or more points, including his career-high 31 points twice against St. Augustine’s and against Georgia Southwestern in the Peach Belt Conference Tournament.
Robinson also had 12 more games of scoring 20 or more points and recorded three double-doubles. In addition to leading the conference in scoring, he was ninth in the conference in steals and 10th in free throw percentage (81 percent). Robinson came up only 10 points shy of reaching 1,000 for his Laker career.
