Franklin Marquieth "Frank" Robinson (born June 1, 1984 in Compton , California ) is an American basketball player . After studying in his home country, Robinson began a career as a professional basketball player in Europe in 2008. Robinson also played briefly twice in the German basketball league .
Career
Robinson moved in 2003 to study at East Carolina University in the east coast state of North Carolina , where he was active for the Pirates college team in the NCAA . After only a year he returned to California on the west coast and continued his studies at California State University, Fullerton . According to the regulations of the NCAA he had to suspend a year of championship games due to the change of university and from 2005 played for the team called Titans of his new university in the Big West Conference . Similar to the East Carolina Pirates, the Titans are not a team that typically competes in basketball for the conference title. So it was a surprise when, after losing Bobby Brown in 2008, they won the Big West championship tournament for the first time in thirty years. In the first round of the national NCAA finals they then lost to the favored Badgers of the University of Wisconsin – Madison . Robinson reached over 1,000 points and 500 rebounds in his three seasons for the Titans .
After Robinson had not been selected by a club from the highest endowed professional league NBA in the 2008 NBA Draft , he began a career in Europe and initially played for the Slovenian double winner KK Union Olimpija from the capital Ljubljana . After the team was eliminated early in the highest European club competition ULEB Euroleague 2008/09 , Robinson left the club prematurely and was committed by EnBW Ludwigsburg in February 2009 for the rest of the BBL season 2008/09 . However, Robinson could no longer help the club to move into the play-offs for the German championship. For the following season he returned to his home country and played in the NBA Development League for the D-Fenders from Los Angeles . But even here he did not make the leap into the NBA and for the following season he moved to Israel in 2010 , which also belongs to the scope of the continental association FIBA Europe . With Maccabi from Haifa he reached the second round of the best 16 teams in the European competition EuroChallenge 2010/11 ; in the championship one reached after two coach changes, however, only the ninth place in the Ligat ha'Al .
The 2011/12 season began Robinson for the Georgian club Sukhumi , which plays in Tbilisi . This had also strengthened with two other compatriots from Robinson, the former top scorer of the ULEB Euroleague 2007/08 Marc Salyers and the former Bundesliga player Brandon Gay . Nevertheless, they failed clearly in the qualifying round for the EuroChallenge 2011/12 . After disputes about the payments to the "legionaries", they left the association. Robinson, who wanted to join the Artland Dragons , initially received no clearance from the club and eventually returned to the Israeli league, where he played for Habik'a in Givat Shmuel . At the end of the season, the club swapped its place in the top division with Hapoel Eilat. However, Robinson moved to Poland for the 2012/13 season to the local series champion Asseco Prokom from Gdynia . In the ULEB Euroleague 2012/13 they were not very successful and remained in the preliminary round behind the German representative Alba Berlin , which Robinson had already done in 2008 with Union Olimpija. As a result, the club and Robinson separated again at the end of November. Over the turn of the year Robinson played in the Basketball Superliga Ukraine for BK Budiwelnyk from Kiev . The club also played successfully in the second European club competition Eurocup 2012/13 , but Robinson's contract was not renewed in early February 2013. Robinson was then signed by the German first division club s.Oliver Baskets from Würzburg , who, however, narrowly missed the entry into the championship play-offs of the basketball Bundesliga 2012/13 .
For the 2013/14 season Robinson moved to the Finnish champion Nilan Bisons from Loimaa . In the Eurocup 2013/14 , the team failed with a balanced record only because of the poorer direct comparison at the entry into the second group phase. Somewhat surprisingly, the defending champion in the domestic Korisliiga lost to Joensuun Kataja in the play-off semi-finals . Robinson started the 2014/15 season in the Greek A1 Ethniki at the Athens suburb Panelefsiniakos. After a bad start to the season, he left the team at the turn of the year and moved again to Israel, where he played the season for first division returnee Ironi from Naharija to the end, who achieved relegation in tenth and third from last place. After a brief engagement with a Turkish second division club, Robinson got a contract with the former Serbian series champion Partizan Belgrade under coach Aleksandar Džikić , who had already coached Robinson at his first professional station in Ljuljana, for the 2016/17 season . Partizan is registered for the EuroCup 2016/17 and also plays in the ABA League 2016/17 .
