"The Heat trading Robinson to Detroit during the offseason may be one of their most regrettable moves in recent memory. Through a little more of the first quarter of the season, Robinson is averaging 12 points and three rebounds on 44 percent shooting from the field and 40 percent shooting from 3-point range. Considering volume, Robinson has emerged as the Pistons' best 3-point shooting threat and has fit almost perfectly in their starting 5."
"Taking it a step further, the Pistons' starting 5, with Robinson, has a +10 net rating together. Overall, because of how dangerous of a weapon he is on the perimeter, the Pistons are a much better team on the floor than they are with him off it. And if the first 26 games of their season are any indication, Robinson has very much unlocked another level to the Pistons' ceiling."
Duncan Robinson has become a key offensive weapon for the Detroit Pistons, averaging 12 points and three rebounds while shooting 44 percent from the field and 40 percent from three. Robinson is the Pistons' primary long-range threat and fits well into the starting lineup despite occasional defensive lapses. Detroit leads the Eastern Conference at 21-5 and posts a +8.8 rating with Robinson on the floor, with the starting five at +10 net rating. Miami received Simone Fontecchio in the sign-and-trade, but his production and efficiency have declined, leaving the Heat struggling and diminishing their championship prospects.
