Summary

After showing some promise early in his career in Indiana, he fell out of the rotation both in Indiana and in Detroit. However, he shot 42% from three over the '16-'17 and '17-'18 span (albeit on a small number of attempts), while also having the physical profile to be a high-level defender.

 

After signing a minimum contract with the Warriors last season, Robinson played well enough that the 76ers were willing to trade three 2nd round picks for he and Alec Burks. He shot 40% from three for Golden State, and showed improvement in his finishing at the rim and midrange efficiency as well. The 76ers certainly need depth at the wing, and if Robinson can provide solid minutes in the playoffs, he could earn himself some real money this offseason.

 

Cap Considerations

Robinson will be an unrestricted free agent with Non-Bird Rights. This means that the highest starting salary the 76ers could offer him using the Non-Bird Exception is $2.4 million. This could be enough to retain Robinson since he settled for the minimum of $1.9 million to play in Golden State last summer. Alternatively, the 76ers could use their $5.7 million Taxpayer Mid-Level Exception to re-sign Robinson if he demands more than $2.4 million.

 

Other teams will have multiple ways to sign Robinson as even teams without cap space could possibly use any of the Non-Taxpayer, Taxpayer, or Room Mid-Level Exceptions to sign him. Since he signed a minimum contract this summer, teams will hope to get him at the minimum this offseason too.

Potential Teams: 76ers, Hornets, Jazz, Rockets, Mavericks

Predicted Contract: 1-year, $3.5 million with the 76ers

Actual Contract: 1-year, $2 million (non-guaranteed) with the Kings

Once again, I overvalued Robinson's demand across the league, as he had to settle for a non-guaranteed minimum contract with Sacramento. Robinson seems likely to stay on the roster for the season though, so he'll likely earn his full salary.
