The most accurate three-point shooter of his draft class — a specialist sniper who set the Miami Heat three-point record.

Duncan Robinson was born in Glastonbury, Connecticut in 1994. He attended Williams College — a Division III school — before transferring to Michigan for his final two seasons. Miami Heat signed him as an undrafted free agent in 2018. His career is one of professional basketball's most unlikely development stories — from Division III player to one of the NBA's most accurate three-point shooters. He set the Miami Heat single-season three-pointer record with 246 in 2019-20. He shot 41.5% from three across his career. He reached the NBA Finals in 2020 with the Heat — contributing as a shooter in the Orlando Bubble. He signed a five-year, $90 million contract with Miami in 2021. He won Olympic gold with the USA at Tokyo 2020. His straight-line cuts off screens, ability to catch and shoot instantaneously and reliable percentages make him one of the most valued shooters in any offensive system. His story — from Division III walk-on to multi-year max contract recipient — is cited in player development conversations as an example of skill specialisation and persistence overcoming conventional draft assessment.
