Duncan Robinson went from averaging a career low 6 and a half points per game last season to a career high 14 and a half per game at the moment.
He completely resurrected his career and went from the most overpaid player in the league, to nearly untouchable for trade- according to some Heat fans. So what changed?
Well, a lot. And it’s more than his 3 point shooting.
This was Duncan Robinson in the past few seasons on the rare occasion when he drove the ball to the basket.
Whether it was a shaky handle or indecisiveness on the finish, it always looked bad.
Now compare all of that awkwardness, to this crazy move that he pulled off on Victor Wembanyama. It’s a night and day difference. And he finished the game with 26 points.
This season, not only does he go to the basket much more often, but he looks comfortable as well. Just look at the numbers.
This season he’s taking 32% of his shots in the paint. More than double compared to last season, and there’s not even a debate when looking at the years past.
And he’s finishing these slightly above league average, further solidifying the inside game as a new weapon in his arsenal.
In fact, despite being known solely as a 3 point specialist, so far this year Duncan has made 35 threes and 27 shots inside the paint. That’s a 56 to 44% split. That’s incredibly well balanced for a guy that everyone knew he couldn't put the ball on the floor and wouldn’t do anything else besides shooting.
And speaking of that, Robinson is back to being a dangerous shooter. 38.9% from downtown is still below the 2 seasons where he was an elite sniper, but he’s doing a bit more as well than just the regular catch and shoot.
Just look at what he did to Jeremy Sochan here. The pump fake that Sochan really bites on and then we got the step back and a second pump fake that literally sent Jeremy flying out of bounds. You see how much more comfortable Duncan looks with the ball in his hands.
He even got Wembanyama with it as well as he calmly relocates fires away and knocks it down.
The rushing and hesitation are out of his system, and Robinson looks great on the floor with each and every game.
After the 26 against the Spurs, he dropped another 26 last night as well on 6 for 10 from long range.
And in the last 7 games, he’s averaging 17.1 points per game on 41.1% from downtown.
Now that’s what I call an increase in confidence.
And it directly correlates with the Heat record as well.
Miami is the hottest team in the league at the moment riding a 7 game winning streak.
BTW here’s a fun bit of trivia for you guys. The last time that the Heat had a 7 game winning streak it was with this roster believe it or not.
All in all it seems like Duncan Robinson is back, and with his help, Miami will once again be a very dangerous team come playoff time.
That’s it for now, subscribe and talk to you in the next one. Peace out. - Sport
Respect to duncan for the bounce back. He was getting clowned after underperforming his contract last year and his confidence looked gone but he put in the work to expand his game and get back on the court!
Bounce back?? He got paid 95 mill to shoot 3s
@@beankobe8205he took a cut bro
@@Actuallylonely 🧢🧢….. the team literally haven’t signed anyone good . Since 2020
@@beankobe8205 still took the cut
@@beankobe8205Yeah clearly you didn’t watch the videos. Yeah he did but to make them and he wasn’t remotely even close to it hence the benching. Teams zoomed in on him and figured out his tendencies. To his credit he has evolved his game now making him worth the money. Sit down now
Only Heat fans seem to understand, it doesnt matter what the roster looks like or how the offseason went. Miami is ALWAYS in the mix 🔥
Nah as a Boston fan, we understand that yall never go away 😭😭
Win the east just to lose in the finals pt.3
Only Heat fans... aha.
Heat fan here. Even I don’t understand how the Heat pull it off
will they finally win them one cause the talent has outshine them soooooooo
I'm so happy for this man :) I think his confidence started last PO. In few games that Heat won then he was very important player.
Back to back Heat videos! Thanks for showing my team some much deserved love🔥🔥
He’s been putting up wilt numbers with these uploads recently
I mean, he is Heat Check 😝
Which other video are you referring to
@@truss3518 right
Back to back?
The Heat never fail to surprise me that's so crazy😂😂 I'm not gonna even lie to you, I thought that the Heat are not gonna be a top tier team this year anymore, and seeing their 7 game win streak now is absolutely amazing.
And seeing Duncan's improvement and becoming more than just a 3PT shooter, is so cool. He has been one of my favorite player since 2021 as a Warriors fan🔥🔥
Every year we get counted our
Even when we got Jimmy Butler they said we wouldn't even make the playoffs and that Jimmy didn't care about winning for going to Miami.
That's awesome bro, hopefully we'll meet you guys in the finals if my Warriors get back on the right track again😭😭😭@@elderassassin9673
Wow, good for him! I love it when players expand their game and come back a different player from the offseason. It doesn't happen much, but much respect to the players that do, even if it's just slight adjustments. It shows that they really care and are willing to make changes to improve rather than just doubling down on what they're good at.
Yup, love to see it too. Not only that, but usually players start with the inside game and then expand their shooting, so it's fresh seeing to see him buck the trend and do it the other way around. I remember him having some key layups in the playoffs last year too that really surprised the defense.
Duncan's been on a long term rebuilding project. He's been putting so much work on his game. Credit to him for working hard, and credit to the Heat coaches for believing and building his game
@@Tony_Toni_Tone 100%. Dude stayed 10 toes down even when he was slumping with the shooting the past few seasons. Dude looks super comfortable this year!
@@repentandbelieveinJesusChrist1 what does that passage have to do with my comment?
im SO glad somebody made a video of this.. anybody (not just heat fans) if they've been watching Heat games, can all testify that Duncan Robinson game has evolved and his been in the gym working on him, and his Game. his went from a great catch and shoot shooter, to doing it all. his defense has improved alot, where his not a liablity on defense anymore. if he keeps playing consistently like he is, he needs Most Improved Player
hes still a liabilty on defense
I knew Duncan was going to find a way to contribute again!
I just hope the Heat don’t fall into the trap of benching him the next time he goes cold, gotta ride the cold streaks out to get to the great shooting games
Yeah I feel like he’s calmed down since getting that $90m. I feel like he was stressed about wanting to contribute a lot since he got paid big, hopefully he’s chilled out
You didn’t know crap stop lying
He is happy Max Strus got traded
That 4 steps back that he pulled on Jeremy was nasty 🙃
He’s actually playing very well off the ball. He’s really filling in the missing gaps. I hope he settles down. He has improved his footwork greatly.
Damn he travels so much lmfao, esp 2:00
His confidence and his game rapidity improved since the playoffs last year. Also with Strus leaving for the Cavs, it opens up Duncan’s minutes a whole lot more, last year it was mostly Strus, now it’s Duncan. If Duncan can improve his dribbling and creates shots, that’ll be even worse for defenders, he’ll be another version of Tyler Herro but he’ll be Klay Thompson since their game is similar except Klay can create shots.
The drives opens up the defense for Duncan. And you really see his work on his handles, he's more in control. The defense can no longer just defend him on the outside, he drives, pass or shoot right away and does the fakes. A lot of teams will now take those variables to adjust. It makes his game similar to Tyler Herro.
I'm very happy to watch Duncan this season. Need more Miami heat check videos 😁
I root for him, and for you short videos that go directly to the point!
Thank you!
We saw him doing that in the Playoffs and sometimes making plays off the dribble. Improvement never stops.
His improvement is startling. Like, "Who's that guy?" and then you realize it's Duncan Robinson. Wow. Much respect to him for having a vision and putting in the work.
this channel is very intelligence in breaking down nba... so far so good channel.. love to watch this channel.
Love that you put the text in the description
That's what hard work means.
So inspirational I love Duncan Robinson
I said this last year to my friends, even though Duncan had a career low last season, we can still see that he's trying to add the finishing / slashing to his game. And when he had a hard time incorporating it last season which affected his shooting as well. But this season it looks like he improved a lot and we can see as well that it affects his shooting confidence as well.
Such a nice guy, I am happy for him
His getting better and better❤
he has arguably the best shooting form in the NBA right now, a few yrs ago I thought this guy was gonna surpass Curry as he was making 7 3pters a game so easy, and then suddenly went on a very long slump no kne could explain. Hope he continues to perform, he is fun to watch.
NO BRO.. YOU'RE BACK!!!!🔥🔥🔥 LESGOO!!!
Thank god that season is back so we can have more Heat Check videos
Very happy for Duncan!
Curry also elevated his career with his layup game. Gettting to the basket can get your shots going
Hard work pays off!! ❤️ 💪
happy for him...these last year or two were probably so rough for him
Love to see players bounce back after dificult seasons 💪🏻
Love Dunk is was huge for my heat in last yr playoffs.
A man isnt measured by what he accomplishes. He is measured by what he overcomes. Shout out to Duncan
People don't realize but numerologically Duncan Robinson is ruled by the #55 as a basketball player. #55 is a master number!
Robinson has got it, we'll know it. One of the best ever 3 pointers in speed.
Duncan is a humble player with great work attitude, no wonder he can bbounce back after horrible performance last season.
Although I’ve watched highlights didn’t see insane scoring but his confidence is back u can tell
Another quality post! What happened to your intro and outro? Loved your studio! Hope all is well!
1:52 Duncan even pump faked the Ref 😂
Damn Duncan is smooth with it. Can't wait what Miami do this season and in the playoffs.
The fact that the 2018 Heat went on a 7-game winning streak is a testament to the incredible Eric Spoelstra.
If that was whiteside before the injury when he could move around picks and block perimeter shots and pf bam coming off the bench spoe had them going to the playoffs. whiteside got hurt alot then wasnt the same on his foot speed they got jimmy then whiteside got traded and bam elevated. shit crazy
I always believed in Duncan even in his lowest. 💪💪💪🔥🔥🔥
Thanks
D-Rob's fake on Wemby still amazes me to this day. Glad that he has improved some of his flaws back then. 💯
Miami heat will always be my favorite sports team and most reliable to defy odds or exceed what they’re expectations are. Everybody said we need cam whitmore instead of Jaime Jacquez and we reached. He looks great for a rookie. Haywood high smith is a good player, Bam has ascended to great both ways. Duncan Is back to old form and even better now. This team can be better then the one that made the finals
I've been waiting for people to start making videos about Duncan's comeback
so happy for Duncan
he got his ups and downs, and really glad the miami keeps believing on him
Spo really knows how to use his roster
He was always good at managing his players.
feel like the play-off run last season helped his confidence a lot. he feels more like a complete player now that can only improve from here
as a NH resident, I love seeing duncan robinson do well
Not many can shoot forever at high percentage point, even the greatest shooters Steph have had bad shooting periods. This is where having a diverse game comes in to cover for the poor shooting, same as dlo before shooting well the past 2-3 games, he didn’t start off the season shooting well (at some point was 26-29% from the 3 I think). He takes a few tries per game to test his feel, and he drives to the basket or set up his teammates when he knows his shots ain’t falling.
Genuinely asking: can someone explain how 1:48 isn’t a travel? My old head can’t comprehend the updated game sometimes lol
inb4 some guy telling you something about gather step and some other bs. it simply just has gotten absurd with the stretching of the rules and the officiating. the fuck are you supposed to play defense when someone picks up his dribble and you cant even rely on him having to shoot or pass but basically running 4 extra steps with it.
Gather at 1:51 followed by the two alloted steps. The footwork is legal. If you're ever unsure pay attention to the opposing bench if theyre rolling their arms its probably a travel.
For me that's a clear travel. Even the kid behind him is rolling his arms!
i havent been watchin heat games but when i saw duncan do a reverse in the beginning, i was like yeah this vid gon talk ab how he added to his bag lmaoo
Resurrection stories are the best.
If you watch Duncan college days, he was actually playing in the shaded lane more often.
Duncan just increased his trade value. 😂
Why would the heat trade him? 😂
you're back in the philippines broda
"Gotta blast!"
Hardworker fs
Dude looked so ripped!
That boy sheen!
Mentality is the hardest thing to change. Just goes to show his character.
My dog the confidence is back
That boy is working. Proud of him.
But you didn't talk about his defense. He's better there, too
Damn, Macklemore is really good!
Return of the Mack
Get 'em, what it is, what it does, what it is, what it isn't
Looking for a better way to get up out of bed
Instead of getting on the Internet
And checking on who hit me, get up
Thrift shop, pimp-strut walkin'
Little bit of humble, little bit of cautious
Somewhere between like Rocky and Cosby
Sweater game, nope-nope, y'all can't copy
This started last playoffs where he torched the Cs.
ive seen so many players like him, always good in regular seson when postseason begins he is gone from building bricks
Upping his trade value.
HEAT CHECK DESERVE more then normal youtuber
I always thought Duncan can put the ball on the floor. He showed willingness just needs to polish. The more glaring issue to me was his defense, not sure how much he improved now but that should be the next thing he checks off
@0:41 Steve Smith move.
JRich making that 7 win streak. 😂😂😂 good to have him back.
1:50 What is that? That is enough steps to travel around the world 😀
Can you do a vid on klay??
"People" forget the Heat players actually get better
Great breakdown. Happy for robinson, but that sohan replay was travel
You didn’t even talk about the biggest improvement he made. Somehow he’s become average on defense. It’s huge. He went from a constant liability to a plus defender in some games.
His defense gotten better as well
*Man, Sheen is built different this season.*
Sheen awakened his inner Ultra Lord with this one
It's the Culture jerseys man
He did Sochan dirty😂😂
The core of the heat team is grit and defense. They make stars of everyone with a shred of scoring ability.
Then idiots like Gilbert Arenas say there's no Heat culture 😂.
Yes sir 🤟🤟🤟
Duncan is a totally different player compared 2 his previous couple of seasons " Congrats 2 # 55 very impressive!!!# boy got moves"💯🔥😱🏀🏀🏀
One thing the heat and warriors in common, they have smart players
He was on a fast track to become a media member.
I wonder how same woulda fit in this line up😢😢😢
The reason why I believe Heat is way more competitive contender having DR, JJacquez, Herro, HSmith, Jovic, and the guys. Than getting Dame Lil. just to sacrifice these players.
Look at the Bucks now
he might have the nicest jump shot in the league tbh
crazy how once he gets minutes hes worth his money
What happened to Tyler Johnson?!
I haven’t seen a lot of Robinson this season, but he used to look silly and lost on defense and when his shot wasnt falling he was unplayable.
Miami is the best place for fringe players to develop their game and turn into solid players
I would love if the heat could land Alex Caruso for Kyle Lowry plus a pick!!! 🔥
All he needed was confidence
1:48 Seriously ref allowed that travel.
man them 4 steps could lose any defender @2:03
Someone show this to Klay.
He is in the right place and in the right time. All he has to do is sink his shots
