BIOGRAPHY
Duncan McBryde Robinson was born on April 22, 1994, in York, Maine. He is a guard and forward in the NBA.
Robinson played high school basketball for The Governor's Academy before a postgraduate season at Phillips Exeter Academy, where he led the team to a New England Preparatory School Athletic Council (NEPSAC) Class A championship in 2013. He earned the 2013 NEPSAC Class A tournament MVP. He was a NEPSAC All-League First Team selection in both 2012 and 2013.
Robinson made a splash in his first season of play at Michigan. He led the Big Ten Conference in three point shooting percentage from the beginning of conference play in December until early February. In his three-year career at Michigan, he made several game-changing three point shots late in Big Ten Conference Men's Basketball Tournament victories and was a member of tournament champions in 2017 and 2018. Robinson was the 2018 Big Ten Conference Sixth Man of the Year. He was part of the 2017–18 team that reached the Championship Game of the 2018 NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament.
After going undrafted in the 2018 NBA draft, he signed an NBA Summer League contract with the Miami Heat.
After 5 summer league games in which he averaged 12.4 points and 2.4 rebounds while shooting 58% (22-for-38) from the field including 63% (17-for-27) on three point shots, he agreed to a two-way contract with the Miami Heat and Sioux Falls Skyforce on July 10, 2018. When Robinson made his NBA debut, it was the first by a former Division III player since Devean George. Robinson joined Big X, a team composed of former Big 10 players, in The Basketball Tournament 2018.
Although the Heat's formal training camp did not begin until September 25, 2018, Robinson declined an invitation to participate as part of the G League-manned squad that Team USA used from September 6 through September 17 to qualify for the 2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup so that he could participate in informal developmental training with the Heat. When the Heat began the season with four injured players (Wayne Ellington, Justise Winslow, James Johnson and Dion Waiters), Robinson and fellow two-way player Yante Maten made the official October 15 opening day roster. The team began the season with 14 players under full NBA contracts. When the G League training camps opened on October 22, Robinson stayed with the Heat. Robinson made his NBA debut in the Heat's fourth game of the season on October 24, against the New York Knicks with 3 points and 4 rebounds in 10 minutes of action. He made his first Field goal attempt, a three-point shot. He scored 15 points as a starter when Sioux Falls opened its season on November 2 with a 112–101 victory against the Fort Wayne Mad Ants. Robinson was a 2019 All-NBA G League third team selection after posting 21.4 points with a 51.4 percent field goal percentage and 48.3 three-point percentage along with 4.3 rebounds and three assists in 33 games, which resulted in his contract being converted to a standard two-year contract on April 9. Robinson closed the season with his first double-digit scoring effort: 15 points against the Brooklyn Nets on April 10.
