A local high school product, Noah attended Bishop Gorman High School and was named Gatorade Player of the Year his senior year (2014), averaging 16 points and 7.1 assists per game. Noah also had a solid freshman year at Akron averaging 9.4 points and 3.3 assists per game while averaging just under 40% from the three point line. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfSfmlelTrM&t=21s While at Akron, Noah had some setbacks with injuries but has recovered and is ready to come back full strength. Noah has a lot of support from those in the Las Vegas basketball community who have watched him play over the years. When asked his opinion of Noah, Robert Smith, former UNLV star point guard, gave him strong praise. “I have watched Noah since he was a little kid and grow through the years," Smith said. "He has strong family values and his father helped teach him the game the right way. Noah is a true point guard who has no problem getting his teammates the ball and help elevate their games. He also has the ability to score when his team needs him to and can knock down the three.” Another former Rebel that watched Noah grow through the years is former UNLV shooting guard, Sudden Sam Smith. “Noah is a little small for his position but he is the definition of a pure point guard," Smith said. "A lot of credit has to go to his Dad working with him through the years. Noah is crafty and reminds me of a Steve Nash-type of player. UNLV made a mistake not getting him out of high school.” Both of these former Rebel stars agree Robotham is a pure point guard who looks to get his teammates the ball. This is the type of point guard UNLV utilized during the Tarkanian era. Of course there is no guarantee Robotham will become the next great point guard for the Rebels. However, he has the tools of an elite pure point guard and possesses a great basketball IQ.
Former NCAA assist leader/point guard for UNLV’s first No. 1 nationally ranked team and current congressional candidate, Danny Tarkanian, remembers Noah’s playmaking skills when Noah was in middle school and high school. “He was a very smart player with an extremely high basketball IQ, higher than many professional players in the league right now," Tarkanian said. Robotham is the perfect fit as the Rebels next starting point guard. A local kid who grew up going to Rebel games and who has strong family values. He is an efficient, crafty, pure point guard similar to all the great point guards in Rebel history. You do not have to take my word for it, just take the word of the former great Rebels who have seen him grow and develop over the years and have nothing but high praise for him as a player and a person.
