So Thomas Robinson is going to be starting in Houston now? It will be very interesting to see him and Asik together. Could be a very potent rebounding combo
I don't think he'll start. He is not ready.
I expect they will start Terrence Jones while Thomas Robinson will compete with Donatus Motiejunas for the backup PF minutes. I expect Motiejunas to have the upper hand in that battle but maybe T-Rob will surprise.
I think it'll be next year before T.Robinson is ready to compete for the starter's job.
Gotcha, I was reading this on yahoo.

Robinson was traded to the Rockets in exchange for Patrick Patterson, Toney Douglas, and Cole Aldrich, Yahoo! Sports reports.
Recommendation: Robinson was averaging 4.8 points and 4.7 boards in 15.9 minutes per game with the Kings this season. He will step into Patterson's starting role in Houston, and will see a bump in playing time and fantasy value immediately. With news that Marcus Morris has also been dealt to Pheonix, Robinson should be seeing at least 25-30 minutes for the Rockets, making him a player of fantasy relevance.

The Rockets started Carlos Delfino last night and swung Chandler Parsons to power forward.
Terrence Williams got a DNP. Motiejunas got 5 minutes off the bench.
Maybe Thomas Robinson does have a chance to start.
He might, but he won't be as good as Patrick Patterson.
