The Detroit Pistons landed Duncan Robinson this summer in a sign-and-trade with the Heat, signing the 31-year-old to a three-year, $48 million deal. His contract drew immediate criticism, but his salary for the 2026-27 season is partially guaranteed, and his salary for 2027-28 is non-guaranteed. Detroit wanted to protect itself in case the signing didn't work out, but so far, it has.
Robinson is averaging 12.6 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game, shooting 43.8% from the field and 40.1% from three on an average of 7.6 attempts per game. He's averaging a career-high 32.1 minutes across 20 games, all starts.
