Duncan Robinson should be part of the rotation in the NBA playoffs and beyond for the Miami Heat. His ability to generate offense, space the floor, and knock down shots is truly invaluable.
Although he’s 5 for 25 from 3-point range in this series, the Heat have also outscored the Knicks in Robinson’s minutes. Few players can knock down shots like Robinson, and his presence beyond the arc demands respect and creates space for the Heat’s best players.
Despite being in and out of the rotation during the regular season because of his struggles on the defensive side of the ball, he found himself thrust into important playoff minutes and he’s made the most of them by leaning into his strengths.
