Glenn Robinson III has been preparing for uncertain opportunity for the entirety of his young career. He never logged more than twelve minutes in any of the 25 games he played for the team that drafted him before they opted to let him go in favor of creating a roster spot for Justin Hamilton. At his next stop, it only took the Sixers 10 games to decide to move on. After Larry Bird took a shine to him, he sparingly competed for scraps of playing time with Chase Budinger and Solomon Hill. The following summer, he finished as one of the Orlando Pro Summer League’s Top Ten performers, but it wasn’t enough to firmly guarantee him a spot in the rotation ahead of the start of the season.
