Justin Robinson...get some burn next year?

[jamsession3]

Its a GREAT chance, Javin and Bolden think/feel they are ready for the professional ranks. If this is a reality, can Justin step in and give Duke some meaningful minutes?

Don’t think so.

I still think there is a chance both return. I'd put it around a 95% chance that one returns (Javin.) So I don't really see the minutes available for Justin.

Regardless...Justin has always been a good shooter, and an amazing runner (if you watched the Earn Everything doc, he was on full display.) But I cringe at the thought of him playing defense.

Great kid. Don’t see him ever playing any kind of regular minutes at Duke, though. That said, I didn’t think Goldwire would crack the rotation as a sophomore, either.

a bench player on the floor for k? hell no

If we have to rely on Justin down low it's going to be a long year. Great kid though.

I think he’ll see more minutes than last year, but not by much. Like others have said, he’s a great kid and his contributions are huge but unseen by us (in practice).

Someone on the Pitt board asked me if they thought Robinson might transfer to Pitt. I said that I had never considered it. But, I suppose it's a possibility since he has a connection with Capel and he might occasionally earn meaningful minutes if he played there. Pitt is seriously, seriously desperate for bigs. One of their bigs might (Chukwuka) just had hip surgery, and it's likely that he'll miss most or all of the season. With only two other bigs on the roster, they are doing some serious scrambling trying to fill that void.

But yes, I can't see Robinson earning anything more than mop-up time. Great kid, great teammate. But not sure minutes are very likely for him.

The funny thing is when he's played extended minutes he's looked good. He just happens to be a wing at Duke.
