Robinson went undrafted (out of Fresno State) in 2022.

His career averages are 3.2 points and 3.1 rebounds per contest while shooting 51.6% from the field in 67 games (eight starts) for Miami.

He has also appeared in one NBA playoff game.

In addition to his time in the NBA, Robinson has also played in the G League.

He finished this past year with sensational averages of 24.3 points, 11.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.2 steals and 2.3 blocks per contest while shooting 57.5% from the field and 37.5% from the three-point range in nine regular season games.

Considering Robinson is only 23, he could be a good addition to another team looking to develop young talent.

The Heat finished the 2023-24 season as the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference with a 46-36 record.

They beat the Chicago Bulls in the play-in tournament, but lost to Jaylen Brown and the Boston Celtics in the first round of the NBA playoffs (in five games).

Since Jimmy Butler joined the franchise in 2019-20, the Heat have been to the NBA Finals twice (and Eastern Conference finals three times).
