Should the Miami Heat sell high on their young core this offseason?

Duncan Robinson has been one of (if not THE) best shooter in the NBA this year.

There hasn’t been a better surprise on any contending team than Duncan Robinson’s 2019-2020 campaign with the Miami Heat this season. He’s become a starter, and one of the best three-point shooters in the league, after signing a two-way contract with the team in 2018.

His two-way contract has since been converted to a standard contract for two years, and the rest is history as they say. Robinson finished the regular season averaging 13.5 points and 3.2 rebounds per game on 47 percent shooting from the field and 45 percent from deep.

Is the start of a career for one of history’s best shooters, or simply an anomaly?

Robinson’s deal for the 2020-2021 season is for just $1.6 million and is non-guaranteed. There may not be a better value among the entire NBA rolling into next year. That’s the kind of deal you can sell high on unless the player in question is an integral piece to your system.

Cue Miami, who might not be where they are without the emergence of Robinson, donning his best tribute to Jesus Shuttlesworth and that Game 6 shot, by making the three his life mission. For a Heat team expected to be tight on cap space, he’s worth more in house than any trade return.
