NBA draft prospect Jeremiah Robinson-Earl on why winning has followed him everywhere

Jeremiah Robinson-Earl is a 6-foot-9 big from the Villanova Wildcats who is seen as one of the more pro-ready prospects in this draft class.

Robinson-Earl averaged 15.7 points, 8.5 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game as a sophomore this past season and he won Big East co-Player of the Year honors. He was the only high-major underclassman to shoot at least 70 percent from within five feet of the basket while also recording an assist percentage of at least 13 percent and a defensive rebound percentage of at least 20 percent, per Bart Torvik.

The former Villanova standout walked us through his time as a high school national champion at IMG Academy, what he learned from legendary NCAA coach Jay Wright and why he enjoys studying Draymond Green and Bam Adebayo.

Please note this interview was minorly edited in its transcript for clarity.
