Make the rotation

It’s nice to have a roster spot in the NBA, especially when you had to play your way into it in Summer League. While some would sit on their laurels upon such achievement, Kendrick Nunn and Duncan Robinson have certainly not.

In spite of having walked the path of the trickiest way into the NBA, Nunn and Robinson have made the most of their opportunities. Thanks to injuries and suspensions, this duo has started all but five games this season and played all 60 games. In fact, Nunn has started all 30 games the Heat have played, and Robinson 25 of 30.

Nunn got off to an outrageous start to the season and is still riding that early notoriety to the degree that he actually has the second-best odds to win Rookie Of The Year behind Ja Morant of the Memphis Grizzlies.

He’s averaging 16.2 points per game while shooting 44.9 percent from the floor and 35 percent from 3-point range.

As for Robinson, he’s averaging 11.7 points per game while shooting 47.8 percent from the floor and a spectacular 44.8 percent from behind the arc.

Needless to say, this duo is in the rotation to stay.

Up next, our final goal.
