Quintessential Duncan Robinson Game Highlight Video
Heat lost last night, but it was Robinson at his best last night (led team in assists....hit 6 of 9 three pointers). These clips include every good or bad possession. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufcpMbb00Hg

Couple too many turnovers.... but he's having a great season (unbelievable that he's starting for one of the league's best teams) and really seems to have a connection with Adebayo.

He forced a bunch of missed shots on defense (still a very bad defensive player though), so it offset the 4 TO’s he had I would think. The cool thing is that he’s had over 10 games this season like this, where he’s played/shot this well.
Quite insane that he’s playing 30+ minutes so consistently (he had 41 in this game). I do wonder if the 3 new acquisitions of the Heat will impact his playing time though.

What amazes me about that is he isn't just a shooter. He was helping run the offense. Some of those passes were fresh out of the Beilein school of "make the good pass". What a crazy great life the kid has had over the last 5 years...

I had a "Careers" class with him during my first-semester senior year. We would have to give updates at the start of every class as to where we were looking for jobs and who we were networking with.
I distinctly remember Duncan talking about how he wanted to go into Podcasting/Journalism and was in contact with The Ringer. He's friends with Mark Titus and had that brief podcast with Andrew Dakich.
At that time, Duncan was giving no thoughts to playing in the NBA and wasn't even considering it a possibility. His focus was entirely on finding a job after Michigan.
It is crazy to think that is the same guy is now not only starting in the NBA, but he's competing in the 3 Point Contest and playing so well. This couldn't be happening to a nicer guy. I hope he has a long career in the NBA.

It's kind of amazing to see Duncan being much more aggressive as shooter in the NBA compared to Michigan. He's hunting for shots and shooting with defenders in his face. Wished he would've been a tad more aggressive with his shot selection.
Heat loves to do dribble handoff with Duncan/Bam and it's lethal because Duncan can shoot it from downtown with a threat of Bam rolling to the rim which puts defense into a bind. You can see a lot of it in this clip

This was Duncan’s biggest problem his rookie year. He’s mentioned in interviews he had to learn what a good shot was in the NBA. Which is pretty much anything for a shooter of his caliber.

Erik Spolestra had to encourage him to shoot whatever the fuck he wants and he even implored him to shoot the damn ball during practices and games. I think Duncan still had the mindset of a former D3 player who don't think he belongs in the NBA.
