Miami Heat: Does Toronto Victor Oladipo Put Duncan Robinson On Notice?

Miami Heat: After Showings Like Toronto, You Have To See More Oladipo, Right?

It all leads to a few questions, with two being more important than others. How often can he give this to the Miami Heat, for starters?

Secondly, how can you make this a regular occurrence? Well, it would first take regular rotational minutes, something that had seemed to not be in his cards, as he had seemed to fall out over the last couple of games.

He wasn’t the only guy sliding though. Across his last five games, Duncan Robinson has only played in about 18 minutes per game, with two of those games coming in at right around 13 minutes.

His season average for minutes played this season is 26 minutes even.

Being down eight minutes from his average, ticking downward recently with the insertion of Max Strus into the starting lineup, and with Dipo’s showing on Sunday, you have to ask—is Robinson at a threat of losing out on, at least, some of those minutes to Oladipo at the moment?

It has to, at least, be considered. Hey, perhaps something like this was always in the cards though.

Here is what Five Reasons Sports had to say on the topic.

Perhaps, that is the case. Though it looked like he would be an odd man out, they are the guys that get paid a ton to make these decisions so, again, this could have always been the case with the Miami Heat and Oladipo’s status.

However, if it wasn’t, in all actuality, then showings like Sunday have to make you think. Is Duncan at risk of losing all or a good part of his minutes to a guy like Oladipo, who, apparently, can still flash like a superstar on the floor at times?

You to have to, most certainly, lean that way. Everybody in that Heat building probably is—or at the very least, thinking about it.
