The Detroit Pistons have acquired sharpshooting wing, Duncan Robinson, in a sign-and-trade with the Miami Heat. The Heat will receive Simone Fontecchio in return. With Detroit’s current shooting guard, Malik Beasley, involved in a federal gambling probe, the Pistons knew they had to pivot someone who would give them insurance at that position. Especially in terms of shooting. Robinson had spent the last seven seasons with the Miami Heat. There, he became a key role player appearing in two different NBA Finals (2020 and 2023).
For his career, he has authored averages of 11.3 points per game, a three-point shooting percentage of 39.7 percent, and a win-share total of 10.3. This past year, Robinson averaged 11.0 points per game and a three-point shooting percentage of 39.3 percent in what was a rather tumultuous season for the Heat. Now, he will have a chance to mentor a budding playoff juggernaut once again be a part of an Eastern Conference contender.
