Tyler Herro and Kendrick Nunn both made the All-Rookie team. Duncan Robinson spent his rookie year on a two-way contract with the Sioux Falls Skyforce. In his second year, he grew into a player every opposing team needed to plan for.
Duncan Robinson since the All-Star Break:
TS: 68% (3rd in NBA among players MPG > 25)
3PM: 42 (2nd in NBA)
plus-minus: +76 (8th in NBA)
His transformation into a game changing player has been something else
