A 5-star recruit in 2019, Robinson-Earl broke out in the 2020-21 season with averages of 15.7 points and 8.5 rebounds per game. He averaged 18.5 points per game during the Wildcats' four postseason games, including an appearance in the Sweet 16.
The forward provided Villanova with a much-needed interior presence but also showed he could step out and hit a three-pointer when given the opportunity. It helped him bring home the 2020-21 Big East co-Player of the Year award.
Given where the Thunder are at in their current rebuilding effort, Robinson-Earl is a solid addition who could potentially contribute because of his ability to do many things well.
