Miami Heat: Duncan Robinson Being Compared To Him And Overcoming That Too
That’s the second part. If you want to take this into consideration, with context, here it is.
When you look at guys with eight attempts or more from range (95 percent of Duncan’s attempts are from range) and that have played in 25 games or more on the year, Robinson is still right there at number six.
Sitting in front of him and in order are Fred VanVleet, Gary Trent Jr., CJ McCollum, Stephen Curry, and Buddy Hield. That’s a who’s who of shooters in the league right now.
On top of all of that, how many of them are as keyed upon as Duncan is from out there? Arguably, none of them other than Steph Curry, while that too can be argued with his team, scheme, and all else that he does for the Warriors.
This isn’t that though. What this is was a case to say this.
Duncan Robinson is only being criticized because he’s being compared to himself. Even on top of that though, he’s still performing at a high level, while he has the confidence to go out there every single night and still get the shots up.
That says a lot about the guy and the reason why the Miami Heat saw fit to give him the deal. Plain and simple, Duncan Robinson is overcoming the ‘Tyler Herro Effect’ and your expectations— whether you like it or not.
