Yep, and one of those guys - Duncan Robinson - is now being paid $90M to be rooted to the bench. He’s been replaced on the court by another, Max Strus.

in a playoff series. 31 and 26 mpg during the regular season is hardly "rooted to the bench." I'm sure he never imagined such hardship when he was suiting up for the nightly Purple Ephs of Williams College.

[MU82]

Yes, that’s right, Billy … right now, in the games that matter most, Robinson is rooted to the bench.

He’s averaging 11 mpg through 2 playoff series … he didn’t play at all in 3 of the last 4 games … and this being rooted to the bench came after he averaged only 17 mins in April, when he lost his starting job.

Very chicos-like of you to argue for the sake of arguing despite easily verifiable facts.

The Heat are shooting 14 for their last 65 on three point attempts.  They also paid Duncan Robinson $90M solely based on his ability to shoot three pointers.  Yet he's playing roughly the same minutes I am in the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

It's not like Strus is amazing out there either.

I'm as shocked as anyone that Strus is a regular NBA player, but I think he's a bit more versatile than Robinson.

Kind of remarkable how once teams got a season of Robinson as a regular player/starter, his 3P percentage promptly dropped.  He was unreal in 19-20, tailed off in the playoffs a bit.  Tailed off even more in 20-21, then got PAID...and then he was pretty dang pedestrian from deep this year.  If he doesn't turn it around next year, he'll be approaching Chandler Parsons ROI.

I think they dance regardless

I think whatever they do next year would have happened regardless of what Justin chooses. Justin just makes them better. Gives them the ability to advance further.

[PointWarrior]

just like they were not going to be dancing this past year?   what next, they only going to score in the 50's routinely next year?

Oh no doubt that Strus is more versatile than Robinson.  I just am not convinced he is THAT versatile enough to compensate for the Heat's lack of shooting.

To be fair, Robinson shot 40/37/84 this year.  Strus, in similar minutes, shot 44/41/80.  So based on the balance of this year, he's actually been the better shooting option.  His shooting percentages this year are actually better than Robinson's last year as well.

Well that's more than fair.  This is what happens when you base your opinions of a team on a few playoff games.

I am guessing based on past years , NBA may announce their Combine and G League combine invites tomorrow .

[94Warrior]

So, are some players named to both combines, or an either or deal?

Does not being named to the G League combine make it more or less likely Justin will be named to the NBA combine?
Thanks

My guess is given some of the names in the G League Combine, is that Justin will get the NBA combine invite.

Weird the NBA likes him more than some of the Scoop Scouts

Good riddance, I hear...

/teal - not my opinion, and I also don't think OMP is going to "easily" replace Justin next year.  They both showed some promise their first year in the Marquette program.  Justin showed WAY more, under the worst coach ever.  Ok, maybe I missed some teal.

Ha! There’s only one ding dong who doesn’t like him and he has dementia.

[94Warrior]

There's like 76 dudes invited.  Way more than I expected.

Aw, leave FD Doc Dribble alone.

[4everwarriors]

Nah man...didn't know the Buffoon was postin' on Scoop, hey?

[rocket surgeon]

i can see justin making his way to the show.  he's got a high b-ball IQ, knows his limitations, uses his body well, has a knack for being where he needs to be.  i'm sure he's been honing his skills in off season against diverse groups of varying talents.  he kinda reminds me of a former baller ya'll very familiar with and quite shocked at his rise amongst some of the elites to the level he has achieved...yup f'ing jimmy b.  where he goes obviously remains to be seen, but justin's got a good head on his shoulders and he's one tough baltimore hombre
