Undrafted Duncan Robinson breaks Heat’s 3-pointer mark
Robinson went 8 for 14 from deep against the New Orleans Pelicans, increasing his total 3s made to 233. That’s the most in Heat franchise history (Wayne Ellington, 227), the most by an undrafted player (Damon Jones, 225) and the most by any player in either of their first two NBA seasons (Kyle Korver, 226).
The Heat’s Duncan Robinson hit 10 3-pointers all of last season and is at 233 this season. That’s tied for the largest increase in NBA history, and he still has 19 games to play.
Robinson, 25, is shooting 44.9% from 3 on 8.2 attempts per game. He’s now on pace to hit more than 300 3s this season, a feat accomplished only by Stephen Curry and James Harden.
Robinson played his freshman season in college at Division III Williams College before leaving for Michigan. He went undrafted in the 2018 draft and signed a summer-league deal with the Heat.
After playing in only 15 NBA games and hitting just 10 3s last season, Robinson worked his way into the likely playoff-bound Heat’s starting lineup this season. The increase of 223 3s from season-to-season is tied with George McCould (1994-96) for the largest in NBA history.
