Duncan Robinson also known as Dunc is a 29-year-old versatile Forward who plays for the Miami Heat in the NBA.. After going undrafted in the 2018 NBA Draft, he spent his early years playing in the G-League and later found his home in Miami. In his second season, he demonstrated an instrumental performance, averaging 13.5 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 1.4 assists per game on 47.0% shooting from the field including a career-high 44.6% from the deep, and 65.4% from the line in 73 games.

In the 2021 offseason, the Sharpshooting guard inked a five-year deal worth $90 million in total which was the largest deal for an undrafted player in NBA history. With incentives added on, his salary will slightly increase with each passing season, for this season alone he is set to make $18.1 million.

However, Robinson’s lethal floor spacing ability and his offensive role coming off the bench can be crucial for the Heat in the coming years.
