We are officially one month removed from the conclusion of the 2024-25 Miami Heat season, which was one of the worst since the turn of the century. Over the next several (week)days, we will be reviewing how each Heat player performed throughout the 2024-25 season, recapping important numbers, best game(s), and their future outlook with the team. Today, we will be reviewing sharpshooter Duncan Robinson!
Let’s dive into it, shall we?!?
- Bam Adebayo
- Kyle Anderson
- Alec Burks
- Tyler Herro
- Haywood Highsmith
- Jaime Jaquez Jr.
- Keshad Johnson
- Nikola Jovic
- Pelle Larsson
- Kevin Love
- Davion Mitchell
***********************
Brief Overview:
2024-25 stats (74 games):
- 11.0 PTS
- 2.3 REB
- 2.4 AST
- 43.7 FG%
- 39.3 3P%
- 59.5 TS%
The Heat’s sharpshooter was coming off the most well-rounded season of his career, but ended the season poorly due to a back injury. He was one of the Heat’s most consistent players post-trade deadline, averaging 13.4 points on 42.6 percent shooting from 3-point range, though he dealt with another back injury in March 23–unrelated to the one he suffered last year.
Numbers To Note:
52.0 – Robinson had the least efficient season of his career coming off handoffs, according to NBA.com’s Synergy tracking data. He shot 39.1 percent from the floor and a career-low 52.0 effective field goal percentage on handoffs, ranking in the 59th percentile on those situations.
9.1 – Robinson recorded a 9.1 defensive rebounding percentage, the lowest mark of his career. He’s never been an average rebounder for a wing, but that’s a shockingly low percentage–0.4 percentage points lower than it was last season. On opponents’ shots in non-garbage-time possessions, Robinson’s 8.8 DRB% graded in the 34th percentile, according to Cleaning The Glass.
Best Game?
Duncan Robinson’s best game of the season came on Feb. 26 against the Atlanta Hawks. He recorded season highs in points (24) and made field goals (9) with five rebounds and six assists in 33 minutes. Miami rolled past the Hawks, and Robinson’s performance was a critical reason why.
What’s next:
Miami has a very important Duncan Robinson decision to make regarding his $19.9 million early termination option. He has the right to exercise it, but the deal is partially guaranteed until July 8.
On one hand, he’ll be entering his age-31 season coming off his second consecutive back injury. On the other hand, he’s on an expiring contract, is still a capable sharpshooter and could offer $10 million in salary relief for a team that desperately needs it.
What do you think happens regarding his future? Let us know in the comments!

I will be here but not posting for a while. A little too much bs and speculation at this point. I will be more active around draft day. Waiting to see what *really* happens and what value we will see in incoming and outgoing trades. In the meantime, I am looking forward to Ringo, The Who, and possibly the Zimmer and Aussie Floyd upcoming shows.
And, hey, BigGuy, Bout30, and 2qbn, where the heck are you guys?
y rc dont leave me ill miss u.the heat are winning it all next year.duncs gonna shoot 50% on 3s next year.bams gonna be dpoy lgh
I’ll still be here. Just want to get through this torturous period of waiting for what’s next for the Heat.
Indy rules. You have to like those players.
Look for a suitable trading partner before July 8, 2025 when his 2025-2026 salary ($19,888,000) becomes fully guaranteed or buy him out for $9,888,000 before then and save $10M.
there is not one team in the nba that would trade for him sun.at that salary .did u watch the game last night..thats how u win with studs and 2 wayers not duncs tys jjj jovics.sorry pay attention to players currently playing and find matches
How do you talk about the best shooter Heat ever had?
But lets see about some of last night winners.
-Halliburton was terrible starting the season.. Some said, he is not even an all star, and that he is the most overrated player in the league.
-Turner, an overrated center for years in trade conversations.
-Toppin, not good enough for NY.
-Bryant, not good enough for Heat
-James Johnson, man, which wasn’t allowed to play in Miami because of his body fat, and gummies delivering (rightfully so).
-McConnell- a dwarf, who cant shoot.
-Siakam, a star, but never really a star.
I cant even remember the names of other players.
That list above doesn’t differ much of the bunch Heat have today. Two half stars, and a bunch of weird, underrated players, which couldn’t make it somewhere else.
dude they play defense wake up.if u cant run with okc theyd wipe the unathletic heat out by 20 pts a game.halis best closer in hoops,turner like poor mans bosh.toppin would be our 2nd best player behind bam he got stuck behind randle siakam.bryant was an apron casualty but k love is better lol jj great cheerleader way past his prime.mcconells as good as herro.he kills us everytime we play versus him
My point is that before a season nobody would give this Indiana a chance to be that high. From those players mentioned above, I would only want Siakam, nobody else in Miami, because I believe Miami has better players.
So, its about team effort, not about stars. Which is very good.
Haliburton Siakim neismith nembhard mathurin turner tj over anybody on the heat besides maybe a very loose maybe bam over everyone else though no question
