Thanks for sharing, an excellent read!
Duncan has it going early in game 2 of the Heat/Celtics series. 4/5 from three so far in the first quarter.

Casual six threes tonight for Duncan in the ECF.

In case anyone was wondering, Duncan’s six threes in the ECF tonight against the Boston Celtics is equal to Jalen Coleman-Lands’ career high in 3PM, which he has recorded three times out of 110 career games, in games against Rutgers, McKendree and Central Michigan.
Duncan made six or more threes in 20% of the games he played in for the Heat this year.

Nobody, and I mean nobody, the staff included, thinks Duncan Robinson, is or will be a better player than Jalen Coleman

That was awesome, scroll down to LAW’s comments…he nailed it. That’s what I love about this board…it has a great memory!
“I was asked to be a floor spacer, and basically draw the attention of one defender—in the corner, for the most part—and let everyone else play four-on-four,” Robinson says. “I wasn’t involved in a lot of the action, and that was a strategic choice by Coach Beilein. He wasn’t wrong for it. We were really good, and we won a lot of games.”
That’s what matters most. Yet for the scouts who considered Robinson at all, Michigan’s reputation for showcasing professional-level talent may have worked against him. In the past seven years, eight Michigan players have been selected in the first round of the NBA draft. Only five schools have produced more first-round picks overall. This wasn’t a case of a player striving in obscurity; Robinson was a part of a huge program in a major conference that made long, celebrated tournament runs. The wealth of talent at a school like Kentucky has sometimes masked the skills of future NBA stars. Michigan, under Beilein, was known for uncovering them.
These two paragraph’s…huge program, major conference, long celebrated tournament runs that produced 5 first round picks! That sounds like BLUE BLOOD to me!

That’s weird…my post in that thread about how Duncan would one day have a historically elite 3 point shooting season in the NBA while starting for a Finals team seems to have been deleted.

Fire Juwan Howard. NOW.
To be fair to Matt, although he would have been better off just letting go, his error seems to be more over-estimating Jalen Coleman than under-estimating Robinson (“role player at best” is pretty - accurate?). He just kind of starts wildly exaggerating his initial take as the internet seems to encourage.
