RAW SCOUT NOTES FROM MIAMI HEAT GAMES I WATCHED LAST SEASON (in order from start of the season to the end)

vs Pistons

• Herro and Robinson shooting gravity off movement puts a lot of pressure on your defense

vs Pacers

• HERRO-ROBINSON put so much pressure on your defense with their ability to make shots and do it off movement in different ways

vs Mavericks

• ROBINSON is such an elite movement shooter

  • In his 30s now and will be interesting how he is valued in 18 months when he becomes a FA

vs Cavaliers

• ROBINSON has elite floor spacing gravity when you figure in his movement AND ability to make shots off that movement

  • Also does a nice job leveraging that into some attempts inside the 3P line

vs Pistons

• ROBINSON movement shooting is ridiculous

vs Pacers

• ROBINSON just never stops moving and puts so much pressure on the defense because of it

  • He’s actually pretty good % wise at the rim, does just enough to balance the 3P shooting

vs Knicks

• ROBINSON does more off ball movement and 3PAs than just about anyone you will watch in the NBA

  • Always impressed by how he is able to use his shooting gravity to get downhill

vs Pistons

• ROBINSON does take a TON of energy from the defenders on him to chase him off all of these screens and not let him get loose

  • There is real gravity and value to this even when he isn’t making shots

  • Detroit has done a nice job on him but he is an ELITE shooter in this league with the level of difficulty of some of these shots/makes

  • Underrated off the ball cutter to the rim

vs Hawks (Play in)

• ROBINSON comes in and immediately leverages his shooting gravity into a hockey assist

PLAYOFF NUMBERS

• 8.5 PPG on 44-40 shooting splits and 19.9 MPG

  • 6 Career Playoff Runs
