Robinson can be a Kenneth Faried type player. Maybe even better. He will play a long time in the league soley for his rebounding ability

If he was good, both teams would have found a way to keep him.

Being traded by a dysfunctional organization w/ broke owners solely to save money is not a slight on Robinson or his talent. And then he got shipped to a team fighting to get in the playoffs. McHale just loved moving a veteran, dependable pf for a rookie while battling for a playoff seed.  He is available now because he is an attractive asset that can clear cap space for a team looking to become a contender this summer. Unless they believe Robinson will be better than Howard or Josh Smith (and ~90% of the league isnt), you dump him every time.

Legit NBA size. What am I missing?

He's got the NBA body for sure, but I just don't see the skills. The compairon to D West seems off because D West could always shoot the ball, and he always had above average offensive moves. T Rob looks very stiff offensively. I just don't see him having the core skill set to develop into a big time player.

David Lee, Kevin Love, and Patrick Patterson are all about the same size. David West measured 0.5" taller.
