Glenn Robinson III’s career looked to be taking a downhill turn. He spent time with the Detroit Pistons and Indiana Pacers before not finding too much interest in the free agency market in 2019. Well, the Golden State Warriors took a chance.
They took a chance, and it certainly paid off.
Until he was dealt prior to the February 6 trade deadline, Robinson was having the best season of his career. The former Michigan Wolverines’ standout forward was averaging 12 points per game on 38.9% from downtown.
That type of shooting enticed other teams, contending teams, and on a one-year deal that expires this offseason, there was no point for the Warriors to hog his production when they could’ve returned some draft capital.
