Coach K: Robinson better than ‘Rudy’
Duke forward Justin Robinson, a former walk-on, has had a big week. (AP Photo/Gerry Broome)Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski paid Justin Robinson such a big compliment, he thinks it should be on the big screen.
The senior forward set or matched career highs in every category except steals in Duke’s 89-76 win over North Carolina on Saturday. The performance earned Robinson, a former walk-on and son of Hall of Famer David Robinson, a comparison to Notre Dame’s Daniel “Rudy” Ruettiger.
Robinson played 25 minutes against UNC and was 4 of 6 from 3-point range and scored 13 points. He also had six rebounds and four blocked shots.
