There are so many players in college that are able to physically dominate inferior athletes that do very little in the pros. The 4s and 5s that wind up averaging 14 and 12 in the NBA generally don't play 3 years in college. They certainly don't ride the bench behind the Morris twins for 2 years.

Boozer had more polish precisely because he played a ton at Duke (and Boozer stayed 3 years). I don't agree that he's quicker, though. Robinson get's off the floor as well as any big man in the nation and his first step is pretty strong for a guy his size.
If he can become a good enough rebounder and play strong enough defense to get 30-35 minutes/gm, I don't see why he couldn't get 3-4 garbage buckets/gm, a couple FTs and a couple buckets off set plays.
