Central Notes: D. Robinson, Allen, Giannis, Buzelis
Duncan Robinson only has a $2MM guarantee on his contract until January 10, but giving him the full $16MM might be the easiest decision the Pistons have to make. As Omari Sankofa II of The Detroit Free Press notes, the 32-year-old swingman is in the midst of his best NBA season and has emerged as an integral part of the team’s offense.
Through eight games, Robinson is averaging 19 PPG — the highest of his career by far — while connecting at 47.4% from the field and 47.9% from beyond the arc. He provides consistent outside shooting that gives his teammates more room to operate, and he’s getting to the foul line four times per game, which is also a career high by a wide margin.
