Darnell Robinson (born May 30, 1974, in Oakland, California) is a retired American professional basketball player and a member of the University of Arkansas Razorbacks 1994 NCAA champion men's basketball team, playing center.
Robinson was selected a McDonald's All-America following an exceptional high school career at Emery High School, where he finished as the leading scorer in California men's high school basketball history.[1][2]
Robinson was drafted by the Dallas Mavericks with the 29th pick of the 2nd round of the 1996 NBA Draft[3] after leaving Arkansas a season early. He later signed with the Philadelphia 76ers,[4] but never played in the NBA.[5] Robinson ended up playing professionally in Italy, Greece, Israel, Puerto Rico and France.[6][7]
Robinson's coach in Greece referred to him as "one of the greatest underachievers I've ever been involved with."[5]
