Personally, I think he does and our offense does as a whole. When he’s running the point, he has to stay engaged as opposed to when he’s off the ball, he has a tendency to disappear.
Does anyone else thinks Jaxson Robinson plays better when running the point?

Yes. Which is crazy because he doesn’t have the handles of a typical point guard. He does seem more engaged in the game when he’s running the point and also usually has a huge height advantage.
Yes. Made the comment the other day he does. While I want Butler back, knowing Jackson is engaged is a good alternative. Hopefully he and Brea both light it up today. I wanna see them both hot in a game.
He and our team are next level when he’s at the point. If this is his mentality he’s not gonna make it as a pro.
He wouldn't last a day at point in the NBA. His handles are nowhere near good enough. It's amazing how well he can play it for us at UK. Auburn would have a field day with him at point. But he is more engaged and scores more when running point.
His desire to play pg isnt’t the point of my post . His performance at pg is what I’m referring to.
I understand, was just pointing that out (no pun intended)
Without question the offense is better with Jaxson running points, and I think Pope subtly alluded to this not too long ago.
His ability to play the point stresses the defense because now there are 4 players on the floor that can score from anywhere. Those kind of teams always gave us trouble when Cal was here even with superior athleticism we couldn’t guard teams with good shooters all over the floor. A good example of his effectiveness is against UT, his defense on Ziegler and his height out front enabled him to easily shoot over the defenders.
That’s what everybody said about Kyle Anderson at 6’9 - 230lbs yet he has been in the league as a high level PG for 11 years.
Well we will play Auburn.
This is not a matter of fact.
"I belive" makes the auburn sentence better.
I believe JR will be fine.
Funny part of most of this is that Robinson didn't play point the last 10 minutes of the game against UT Amari did
