"Duncan Robinson was essentially a backup plan for the Detroit Pistons. That's not meant to sound disrespectful to the former Miami Heat sharpshooter, but if the Pistons were able to re-sign Malik Beasley, they probably wouldn't have brought Robinson into the fold. But their hand was forced with Beasley under investigation for gambling by the U.S. District Attorney's Office, so they signed Robinson to a 3-year, $48 million deal - and have quickly realized that was a great decision."
"On the season, Robinson is averaging 12.6 points per game and shooting over 40 percent from 4-point range, and if he keeps that up, it would be his first time eclipsing the 40% mark since the 2020-21 season. He's become a weapon for the Pistons and their MVP candidate, Cade Cunningham, who has been Robinson's top assister on the season. No, I don't know if that's a real word."
The Detroit Pistons signed Duncan Robinson to a 3-year, $48 million deal after Malik Beasley faced a gambling investigation. Robinson has filled Beasley's role as a movement, knockdown shooter and has produced 12.6 points per game while shooting over 40 percent from four-point range. Cade Cunningham has frequently assisted Robinson, using him as a primary spacing outlet. Robinson is a full-time starter playing over 32 minutes per game and serves as the Pistons' main floor-spacer. The Pistons rank No. 20 in 3PT% and rely on Robinson to create driving room for Cunningham.
