1. Overview
Duncan McBryde Robinson, born on April 22, 1994, is an American professional basketball player for the Miami Heat of the National Basketball Association (NBA). His career is notable for his remarkable journey from playing NCAA Division III college basketball at Williams College to becoming a key player in the NBA, particularly renowned for his prolific three-point shooting. Robinson transferred from Williams College to the University of Michigan, where he was part of the team that reached the 2018 NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship Game. After going undrafted in the 2018 NBA draft, he signed with the Miami Heat and has since set numerous three-point shooting records for both the Heat franchise and the NBA, helping Miami reach the NBA Finals in 2020 and 2023. He is the only player from Williams College to ever play in the NBA.
2. Early life and background
Duncan McBryde Robinson was born on April 22, 1994, in York, Maine. He is the youngest of three children born to Elisabeth and Jeffrey Robinson, with an older sister named Marta and an older brother named Eli. Robinson has Hawaiian heritage on his mother's side. He grew up in the small town of New Castle, New Hampshire, which had a population of approximately 1,000. His sixth-grade graduating class at Maude H. Trefethen Elementary School consisted of only four students.
3. High school career
Robinson attended Rye Junior High School before choosing to enroll at The Governor's Academy in Massachusetts, rather than his local public high school, Portsmouth High School. He began his freshman season in 2008 as a 5 in point guard for The Governor's Academy, but saw limited playing time until his junior year when he became "serviceable." In his early years, Robinson dedicated hours to practicing his shooting, aiming to make 1,600 shots per week. He began working with trainer Noah LaRoche during his junior season.
As a senior at The Governor's Academy, Robinson averaged 18.5 points. His performance earned him selections to the 2012 All-NEPSAC Class B first team and the 2012 All-Independent School League (ISL) team. He graduated with a 3.55 G.P.A..
Following his senior season, Robinson participated in the spring and summer Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) circuit and completed a postgraduate year at Phillips Exeter Academy to enhance his college prospects. He led Exeter to an impressive 28-1 record, concluding the season with an 18-game winning streak that included the NEPSAC Class A title. In the championship game, Robinson delivered a standout performance with 24 points and 10 rebounds, earning the Tournament MVP award, in addition to 2013 NEPSAC Class A All-League first team honors. He played for Michael Crotty Jr.'s Middlesex Magic AAU team; Crotty was a two-time All-American at Williams College and had played point guard for the 2003 NCAA Division III Tournament champions.
By the end of the summer following his senior season, Robinson had grown to 6 in and 195 lb (195 lb). Despite his success, his only scholarship offer was from NCAA Division II's Merrimack College. He also garnered interest from NCAA Division I programs like Brown Bears and Columbia Lions, as well as Division III schools such as Bates College and Amherst College.
In late September 2012, during a campus visit, Division III Williams College extended an offer, which Robinson immediately accepted. At the time, Williams was ranked the top liberal arts college in the country by U.S. News & World Report and was a Division III basketball powerhouse, boasting a 93-22 record over the preceding four seasons under head coach Mike Maker.
4. College career
Duncan Robinson's collegiate basketball journey saw him transition from a dominant player at the Division III level to a significant contributor in Division I, showcasing his versatility and adaptability.
4.1. Williams College (Division III)
Prior to the November 15, 2013, season opener against Southern Vermont College, Williams College was ranked third among Division III teams in preseason polls. Robinson became the only freshman starter during Coach Maker's six-year tenure at Williams. In his 2013-14 freshman season, Robinson was twice named New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) Player of the Week.
Williams College advanced to the 2014 NCAA Men's Division III basketball tournament championship game, where they narrowly lost 75-73 to University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, despite Robinson scoring 17 points. In a dramatic finish, Wisconsin secured the winning basket with 4.9 seconds left without calling a timeout, a game that Chris Strauss of USA Today described as the best NCAA basketball tournament game of that weekend. In the tournament semifinals, Robinson had scored 30 points against rival Amherst College, a team that had defeated Williams in their three previous meetings that season. Williams concluded the season with an impressive 28-5 record.
During this freshman season, Robinson set school records for single-season minutes played (1,110 minutes) and freshman-season points scored (548). He led the NESCAC in three-point field goal percentage (44.8%) and minutes played (1,108), ranking second in minutes per game (34.6). In conference games, he led the NESCAC in three-point field goal percentage (50%) and three-point shots made per game (3.6). Following the season, he was recognized as the NESCAC Rookie of the Year and a Second Team All-NESCAC selection. Robinson became Williams' first freshman to be named All-American (4th team, D3Hoops.com), the first D3Hoops.com National Rookie of the Year, the first freshman NCAA All-Tournament Team selection, and the first freshman to score 500 points.
After the 2013-14 season, Coach Maker left Williams to become the head coach for the Marist Red Foxes. Robinson was immediately contacted by numerous Division I schools from conferences such as the ACC, Big 12, Big Ten, Pac-12, Atlantic 10, Ivy League, Patriot League, and America East. Among the interested schools were Creighton, Boston College, and Providence. Robinson decided he would only leave Williams for a winning program with an elite academic reputation, and one that utilized a system similar to what he was accustomed to. He had previously played against Nik Stauskas in NEPSAC and was impressed by how Michigan's coach, John Beilein, developed "under-recruited players" like Stauskas, who became a first-round NBA draft pick. Coach Maker had served as an assistant coach for Beilein at West Virginia from 2005 to 2007. Given that both Exeter and Williams had systems similar to Beilein's at Michigan, Robinson asked Maker to contact Beilein. Initially, Beilein expressed interest at a preferred walk-on level, which Robinson declined due to existing scholarship offers. A week later, after reviewing video, Beilein reconsidered and offered a scholarship. Robinson scheduled visits to Michigan and new Atlantic 10 member Davidson. Following his visit to Michigan, he committed to the school, announcing his decision via Twitter on August 6, 2014.
4.2. University of Michigan (Division I)
According to some sources, Robinson is only the second player, after Bob McCann (who transferred from Division III Upsala College to Morehead State University after his freshman season), to transfer from Division III to Division I with a full scholarship.
4.2.1. Sophomore season
During the 2014-15 NCAA Division I season, Robinson redshirted for the Michigan Wolverines, meaning he could practice with the team but not participate in games. In December 2014, with assistant coach Jeff Meyer as his rebounder, Robinson broke Nik Stauskas' Michigan Wolverines practice record for three-pointers in a drill (five minutes, one ball, one rebounder) by making 78 shots, surpassing Stauskas' record by three.
In his second game for the 2015-16 Michigan Wolverines on November 16, 2015, Robinson scored 19 points on perfect shooting from the floor (6-for-6, including 5-for-5 on three-point shots) against Elon. On December 1, in the ACC-Big Ten Challenge against NC State, he scored 17 points, making 5 of 7 three-point attempts, setting a Michigan record for single ACC-B1G game three-point shooting percentage (minimum five attempts). On December 12, Robinson made his first career start for Michigan against Delaware State, contributing 11 points on 3-for-5 three-point shooting. At that time, he ranked third nationally in three-point shooting percentage. On December 23, he tied his career high with six assists against Bryant, marking his ninth consecutive game with at least three three-point shots made.
Robinson entered conference play leading the Big Ten in three-point field goal percentage and continued to lead the conference in both three-point field goals (52) and three-point field goal percentage (.565) through the first week of the Big Ten schedule. On January 12, with leading scorer Caris LeVert sidelined, Michigan defeated Maryland 70-67, with Robinson contributing 17 points on 5-for-9 three-point shooting. On January 23, he scored a game-high and season-high 21 points, leading Michigan to an 81-68 victory over Nebraska. In that game, the Cornhusker defense challenged his three-point shot, leading him to score more points inside the three-point line than outside for the first time as a Wolverine. The January 27 game against Rutgers marked his 17th consecutive game with at least two three-point shots. This streak ended after the subsequent two games against Penn State and Indiana, where he made only one three-point shot in each. On February 6, in the rivalry game against the 10th-ranked Michigan State Spartans, Robinson was held to 0-for-3 from three-point range, ending a 22-game streak of making at least one three-point shot. On February 10, Michigan defeated Minnesota, with Robinson posting a game- and season-high nine rebounds along with 14 points on 4-for-7 three-point shooting.
On March 10, in Michigan's first game of the 2016 Big Ten Conference men's basketball tournament against Northwestern, Robinson scored 21 points, including a crucial three-point shot that tied the score with 46.5 seconds remaining in overtime. The following day, in the quarterfinals against top-seeded Indiana, Robinson again tied the score with a three-point shot with 46 seconds remaining in regulation. In the semifinals against Purdue, he recorded his 90th three-pointer of the season, becoming only the fifth Wolverine in history to reach that milestone. On March 16, in the First Four round of the 2016 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament, Michigan defeated Tulsa 67-62, with Robinson recording his first double-double as a Wolverine with 13 points and a season-high 11 rebounds. He finished the season second among Big Ten players in three-point field goal percentage with a 45.0% mark, behind Bryn Forbes (48.1%).
4.2.2. Junior season

Following the 2015-16 season, several other wing players left the team, including Caris LeVert (graduated), Aubrey Dawkins (transferred to UCF Knights), and Kameron Chatman (transferred). Robinson primarily came off the bench during his junior season, although he started one game on December 17 against Maryland Eastern Shore due to a bookkeeping error. Late in the season, he began co-hosting The Dak and Dunc Show podcast with teammate Andrew Dakich for WCBN-FM Sports, which was also available on iTunes. The team went on to win the 2017 Big Ten Conference men's basketball tournament and reached the Sweet Sixteen round of the 2017 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament.
4.2.3. Senior season

Robinson started his senior season strong with a team-high 21 points against North Florida on November 11, 2017. In that game, he and Charles Matthews became the first Michigan teammates to each score 20 points in a game since March 3, 2015. On January 13, Isaiah Livers replaced Robinson in the starting lineup for Michigan's rivalry game against Michigan State. However, with Livers sidelined on February 11, Robinson returned to the starting lineup, scoring 16 points (14 in the first half) in an 83-72 victory over Wisconsin. On February 14, Robinson scored 18 points, including a season-high six three-point shots, in a 74-59 victory over Iowa. With these six three-pointers, Robinson surpassed Zack Novak to rank sixth all-time on Michigan's career three-point leaderboard with 215 career three-pointers.
Following the 2017-18 Big Ten Conference regular season, Robinson was named the Big Ten Sixth Man of the Year by the coaches. On March 1, in the 2018 Big Ten Conference men's basketball tournament, Robinson played a crucial role in Michigan's 77-71 overtime victory over Iowa. After his co-captains, Wagner and Abdur-Rahkman, fouled out, Robinson converted a go-ahead three-point shot with 2:17 remaining in overtime and two free throws with 10 seconds left to secure Michigan's lead. The following day, in the quarterfinals of the Big Ten tournament against Nebraska, Robinson scored his 1,000th career point on his second three-point field goal of the first half. He finished the game with 16 points off the bench, including four three-pointers, in a 77-58 victory. Robinson averaged 11 points per game during Michigan's four tournament games, helping them win the championship. On March 21, Robinson was recognized as an Academic All-Big Ten honoree.
The team advanced to the 2018 NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship Game but lost to Villanova. Robinson made history as the first player to compete in both an NCAA Division I men's basketball championship game and a Division III championship game. Due to the team reaching the championship games of both the Big Ten tournament and the NCAA Tournament, Robinson shares the Michigan (and NCAA) single-season games played record (41) with teammates Abdur-Rahkman, Jon Teske, Zavier Simpson, and Matthews. The 2010-11 Connecticut Huskies also played 41 games, which is an NCAA record. Over his three seasons at Michigan, Robinson concluded his career with 237 made three-point shots (on 41.9% shooting), placing him fourth on Michigan's all-time list.
5. Professional career
Duncan Robinson's professional career is marked by his impressive rise from an undrafted player to a record-setting three-point specialist and a vital component of the Miami Heat's success, including multiple NBA Finals appearances.
5.1. Miami Heat (2018-present)
5.1.1. 2018-19 season
After going undrafted in the 2018 NBA draft, Duncan Robinson signed an NBA Summer League contract with the Miami Heat. In five Summer League games, he averaged 12.4 points and 2.4 rebounds, shooting 58% from the field and an impressive 63% (17-for-27) from three-point range. On July 10, 2018, he agreed to a two-way contract with the Miami Heat and their NBA G League affiliate, the Sioux Falls Skyforce. Robinson's NBA debut marked the first time a former Division III player had played in the NBA since Devean George, and he was the first ever player from Williams College to do so.
Although the Heat's formal training camp did not begin until September 25, 2018, Robinson declined an invitation to participate with a G League-manned squad for Team USA's 2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup qualifiers. He chose instead to participate in informal developmental training with the Heat. When the season began, with four injured players (Wayne Ellington, Justise Winslow, James Johnson, and Dion Waiters), Robinson and fellow two-way player Yante Maten made the official October 15 opening day roster. The team started the season with 14 players under full NBA contracts. When G League training camps opened on October 22, Robinson remained with the Heat.
Robinson made his NBA debut in the Heat's fourth game of the season on October 24, against the New York Knicks, recording three points and four rebounds in 10 minutes. He made his first field goal attempt, a three-point shot. He scored 15 points as a starter when Sioux Falls opened its season on November 2 with a 112-101 victory against the Fort Wayne Mad Ants. On December 10, Robinson made 10 of 17 three-point attempts against the Agua Caliente Clippers, posting 32 points, 7 rebounds, and 6 assists. Robinson made his first NBA start on February 25, 2019, scoring five points against the Phoenix Suns. On March 19, Robinson achieved his G-League best with 36 points against the Oklahoma City Blue.
Robinson was named to the 2019 All-NBA G League Third Team after averaging 21.4 points, with a 51.4% field goal percentage and 48.3% three-point percentage, along with 4.3 rebounds and three assists in 33 games. His strong performance led to his two-way contract being converted to a standard two-year contract on April 9. Robinson set two Skyforce franchise records: single-season three-point shots made (157) and career three-point shot percentage (48.5%, minimum 200 attempts). His career three-point shot percentage also stands as an NBA G-League all-time record. Robinson led the G League in minutes per game that season (36.9). He concluded the season with his first double-digit scoring effort in the NBA, scoring 15 points against the Brooklyn Nets on April 10.
5.1.2. 2019-20 season: Finals appearance
During the 2019 off-season, Robinson's contract included a 1.00 M USD guarantee, with the potential for an additional 400.00 K USD if he remained on the roster through midseason. He gained 15 lb (15 lb) prior to the 2019-20 season. On October 27, with Jimmy Butler sidelined, Robinson posted a then-career-high 21 points against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He followed this with 23 points on 7-for-11 three-point shooting on November 3 against the Houston Rockets. On November 20, Robinson scored a career-high 29 points against his former college coach John Beilein's Cleveland Cavaliers, setting Heat records with seven three-point shots in a quarter and eight in a half. On December 1, he recorded a 10-rebound/10-point double-double against the Brooklyn Nets.
On December 10, the one-year anniversary of his first professional 10 three-point shot performance, Robinson scored an NBA career-high 34 points, making 10 three-pointers. This performance tied a Heat franchise record for three-pointers made in a game, occurring in a 135-121 overtime win against the Atlanta Hawks. In that same game, teammate Kendrick Nunn added 36 points, establishing an NBA record for points by an undrafted duo (70). Following this performance, The Wall Street Journal on December 13, 2019, hailed Robinson as "the most improbable player in the NBA" and "one of the best shooters on the planet." With two three-point shots made in overtime against the Hawks, Robinson became the third Heat player to achieve multiple three-pointers in an NBA overtime game, just two nights after Tyler Herro set the franchise record with three in an overtime period. On February 12, 2020, against Utah, he made his 200th NBA three-point shot in just his 69th career game, becoming the fastest player in NBA history to reach this milestone, surpassing Donovan Mitchell and Luka Dončić (84 games). Robinson also participated as a competitor in the Three-Point Contest at the 2020 NBA All-Star Game.
On March 4, against Orlando, Robinson made nine three-point shots, including seven in a row at one point. On March 6, 2020, he scored 24 points with five rebounds and four assists in a 110-104 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans, shooting 8-of-14 on three-pointers. This gave him 17 three-point shots over two consecutive games. His eight three-pointers in that game raised his single-season total to 233 with 19 games remaining, surpassing Wayne Ellington's Heat single-season three-pointers record (227), Damon Jones's NBA undrafted player single-season three-pointers record (225), and Kyle Korver's NBA single-season record for most by a first or second-year player (226). This performance positioned Robinson for two more record chases on March 8: tying Rafer Alston for most consecutive games by a Heat player with at least one three-pointer (49) and George McCloud's NBA record for the largest increase in made three-pointers from one season to the next (223). On March 8, against the Washington Wizards, Robinson's former roommate, Mo Wagner, provoked Robinson enough to earn him his first technical foul. In that game, Robinson went 7-for-11 on three-point shots, giving him 24 three-pointers over three consecutive games, and tied Alston with 49 consecutive games with a three-point conversion. This streak ultimately extended to 57 games, running from game 16 to game 72, the last of the season. Robinson was also on pace to break other NBA records, including the highest three-point percentage of field goal attempts (88.3% of his shots were threes, compared to the NBA record of 82.7% by Wayne Ellington, minimum 400 attempts) and fewest two-point field goal attempts (P. J. Tucker, 136, 2400 minute minimum). He finished the COVID-shortened 2019-20 NBA season (the Heat played only 73 games) with 270 three-point shots made. For the season, Robinson set several Heat franchise single-season shooting records: Effective field goal percentage (.667), True shooting percentage (.684), and two-point field goal percentage (.654).
Robinson debuted in his first NBA playoff game on August 18, with 2-for-8 three-point shooting for six points, three rebounds, and one assist against the Indiana Pacers. On August 20, he started game 2 of the first round of the 2020 NBA playoffs with three consecutive three-point shots and tied the Heat's franchise record for most three-pointers in a playoff game (7, set by Mike Miller in the 2012 NBA Finals). He led all scorers in the game with 24 points, shooting 7-for-8 from three-point range and 3-for-3 from the free-throw line. Robinson helped the Heat reach the 2020 NBA Finals against the Los Angeles Lakers, where he again made seven three-point shots in game 5, which broke Gary Neal's NBA Finals record for undrafted players, as Miami staved off elimination. The Heat ultimately lost the series in six games.
5.1.3. 2020-21 season
On December 25, 2020, Robinson made seven three-point shots, tying Brandon Ingram for the NBA Christmas Day record, which was equaled hours later by Kyrie Irving. This record was surpassed the next year by Patty Mills. The following day, Bleacher Report posted a YouTube video showing that six of those three-pointers were made in the first half, setting an NBA Christmas Day single-half record. On January 6, against the Boston Celtics, Robinson made his 300th three-point shot in his 95th career game, surpassing Damian Lillard and Luka Dončić (117 games) as the fastest to reach this milestone. On March 11, in a game against the Orlando Magic, Robinson made his 400th three-point shot in an NBA-record 125th game, surpassing Trae Young (159 games) and Dončić (160 games). The Chicago Bulls snapped Robinson's franchise record 25-game streak of consecutive games with multiple three-point conversions on April 26. On May 1, 2021, in a game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, Robinson recorded his 500th career three-pointer, becoming the fastest player to reach the milestone in just 152 games, surpassing Dončić's previous record of 187 games. Robinson converted three-point shots in each of the final 48 games of the season (games 25 to 72).
5.1.4. 2021-22 season
On August 6, 2021, Robinson signed a five-year, 90.00 M USD deal to remain with the Heat. This marked the largest contract in NBA history for an undrafted player, surpassing Fred VanVleet's 4-year, 85.00 M USD deal from the previous year. Robinson converted three-point shots in the first 21 games of the season before the Cleveland Cavaliers held him scoreless on December 1, snapping his consecutive streak at 69 games. On December 4, in a 129-103 win against the Memphis Grizzlies, Robinson recorded his 600th three-pointer, becoming the fastest player to reach this milestone in just 184 games, surpassing the prior record set by Donovan Mitchell in 240 games.
On December 31, Robinson was one of seven Heat players sidelined due to the NBA's COVID health and safety protocols. By missing his first game since April 2019, he snapped a franchise-best 182-game iron man consecutive game streak, surpassing Glen Rice's 174 games. On February 17, 2022, against the Charlotte Hornets, in his 216th game, Robinson made his 700th three-point shot, surpassing Buddy Hield's NBA record of 269 games. Through the 2021-22 NBA season, Robinson held several Heat franchise career shooting records: Effective field goal percentage (.610) and 2-point field goal percentage (.617). Late in the season, Robinson lost his starting job to Max Strus for defensive reasons.
On April 17, 2022, during Game 1 of the first round of the playoffs, Robinson scored 27 points off the bench in a 115-91 win over the Atlanta Hawks. He also hit eight three-pointers, setting a Heat franchise record for most threes made in a postseason game. Robinson tied J. R. Smith for the second most three-pointers by an NBA reserve in the postseason, just one behind a 2011 effort by Jason Terry. Robinson was 9-for-10 from the field and 8-for-9 on three-point shots in that game. He made his last seven three-point attempts (5-for-5 in the second half and 4-for-4 in the final quarter).
5.1.5. 2022-23 season: Second NBA Finals
On December 26, 2022, Robinson made his 800th three-pointer in his 263rd game, a 113-110 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves, becoming the fastest player in NBA history to reach 800 career three-pointers, surpassing Dončić (288 games). On December 30 against the Denver Nuggets, Robinson surpassed Tim Hardaway's Miami career total of 806 three-pointers for the franchise record.
After starting 208 games in the prior three seasons, he made only one regular season start in the 2022-23 season. His second start did not occur until the second game of the 2023 NBA playoffs against Milwaukee, following an injury to Tyler Herro. Victor Oladipo was lost for the season in game 3, further thinning the Heat's playoff options. For most of the regular season, Robinson was not consistently in the main rotation and missed 20 games due to injury. However, upon his return to the main rotation in the playoffs, he became hot from three-point distance, making 10 of his first 13 attempts, giving him the highest percentage among all 105 NBA playoff participants with a minimum of five attempts in the first week of the playoffs.
In the playoffs, Robinson passed Dwyane Wade (97) on April 22, Mario Chalmers (117) on May 19, and LeBron James (123) on May 21 to take over the Heat's career playoff three-point field goal all-time lead. Robinson helped the Heat reach the 2023 NBA Finals, but the Heat lost the series in five games to the Denver Nuggets.
5.1.6. 2023-24 season
On December 16, 2023, in his 305th NBA game, against the Chicago Bulls, Robinson broke the record shared by Dončić and Hield for the fastest to achieve 900 career made three-point shots (324 games). On February 26, when six Heat players were unavailable due to injury or suspension, Robinson had an off-shooting night (1-for-11 field goals, 0-for-6 three-pointers), but contributed to a win over the Sacramento Kings with a career-high 11 assists. This surpassed his previous high of nine assists, which he posted in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals of the 2023 NBA playoffs against the Boston Celtics. His previous regular season high was 7 assists on March 3, 2022, against the Brooklyn Nets. On March 17, Robinson scored a season-high 30 points, including his 1000th career three-point shot in his 343rd career game, breaking the previous record of 350 games by Hield.
