Duncan Robinson is doing something really good...
Just going to leave the box score here
https://www.espn.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=401160848
8/10 on 3s
November 20th, 2019 at 11:16 PM ^
uh, did they have 75 pts at the half?
November 20th, 2019 at 11:45 PM ^
finished with 9 3's...
pretty amazing to come all the way up from Division 3 to make it to the NBA...
"There's a lot of love, but we're certainly both very competitive," Robinson said. "...I certainly wouldn't be where I am without him, but we gotta take care of business."
Love how much respect he has for Coach Beilein and vice versa...
Robinson noted that he developed a close relationship with Beilein during their time together at Michigan. The two grabbed dinner together this past summer while in Las Vegas for summer league action and caught up during halftime of last week’s Heat-Cavaliers game in Cleveland.

If you had told me during Duncan's first year here that he would eventually be raining 3s in the NBA I would have laughed and said you were crazy—I was skeptical he even deserved a spot on the roster. I guess John Beilein knows more about basketball than I do.

I remember Dukie V said during the broadcast that he would be in the NBA. Even his play by play guy thought he was nuts.

I love Duncan and his game.
But how on earth is Stauskas not making it in the NBA? He brings more to the table than Duncan.
November 21st, 2019 at 1:05 PM ^
I haven't kept up with him, and don't watch much NBA these days, but supporting cast and the type of system play a large role in individual player success. Unless you're a top 10/20 type player.

I see our own Joe D was the second guy to hit a double digit (10) threes in a game. Amazing how many have occured in the last few years.
November 21st, 2019 at 9:37 AM ^
Led the team in points and minutes played. I think the second stat is more impressive than the first - don't think anyone imagined he would pull 34 minutes in an NBA game.
D3 doin' work in the NBA. Dude's gonna get paid serious coin in the next contract negotiation.

I know it's behind a paywall, but The Athletic picked up in this with a pretty good story too. And yes he did thank JB

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but on the other end of the spectrum, J Poole has been doing rather poorly. The below is from r/nba
After 16 games, Warriors' 28th overall pick Jordan Poole is averaging 10.5 FGA with .268 %FG and 5.5 3PA with .239 %3PFG.
There's nobody in NBA history who shot under %35 FG and %30 3PFG with over 10.5 FGAs and 5.5 3PAs per game. (min. requirement is to be qualified for MPG leaderboard.)
Current record for the worst season is set by Kobe Bryant in his last season with 16.9 FGA, 7.1 3PA per game, shooting .358 from the field and .285 behind the arc.
Poole is averaging %9 less %FG and %5.5 less %3PFG which makes his season the worst of all time by a HUGE margin. There's nobody who shot under %35 and %30 but if he keeps shooting this way he will raise the bar to %30 and %25.
Thrust into more minutes than he's ready for and the Warriors are so thin they can't ship him down to G League. Feels bad.

He just straight up wasn't ready and should still be playing for Michigan right now.
