Toronto-NBA is the most unique club in basketball. This season, the total member qualification is 523 players in the game.
One of them is the seven -foot center of Orlando Robinson. He is currently living in the periphery. After walking back and forth between King Sacraimado and their G league branches in Stockon, the 10 -day contract with the Toronto Raptors ended and started this season. He participated in 11 games before Monday this season, and the minimum 100 points in the league are the same as Zion Williamson.
Monday may be Robinson’s last chance to impress people in the current environment, because the Raptors played the New Orleans Pelicans on the 10th day of the transaction. Before the game, he was very frank about the mood in the locker room.
“Use the opportunity,” Robinson said. “(I) I hope to have the opportunity to participate in the competition and have the opportunity to participate in the competition, so just go there, affect the victory, show what I can do, and participate in the competition.”
A 10 -day transaction may be the first step in the field of players in this field. It enables them to show their skills at the NBA level and may contact the new team more permanently. This is a major improvement of its next contract or region’s instability and uncertainty.
Robinson popped up in the previous game against the Atlanta Eagle team on Saturday night. His counting statistics did not jump to the page-he had 4 points in 20 minutes, 6 rebounds and two blocks-but his smart defense and his ability to distribute to his teammates to stand out.
His first job on the floor on Monday was another matter. Robinson was charged with four fouls in just 7 minutes, three of which were within 11 seconds.
There are some positive factors. He helped a lot of help to rotate to make CJ McCollum Drive ineffective. Scottie Barnes passed on Robinson in the whistle to Robinson, where he retreated his guard and completed with a smooth right hand hook. The 24 -year -old man showed a balance in a drama. He delayed his movements from his elbow, measured the survey of Davion Mitchell, and reopened space. Robinson even moved Williamson along driving-this is the rare feat of the Raptors in this game-and put pressure on him to make a mistake.
In the first two seasons of Robinson and the Miami Heat League, he also stated that he could work in the offensive plan. Regional initiative.
Robinson said, “No, I understand, I can do this.” “Especially I played a lot in college. I have always had a double team, so I have to develop skills-I mean that I have the ability to pass Skills-but I really must be good at creating for myself and my teammates. ”
However, the main moment of Robinson’s appearance in the first half was the bad pass for four fouls and mistakes. He was first asked to foul while trying to hit the glass, and then was immediately called in the position of Williamson in the next game and actively fighting on the screen after three seconds. The transmitted readings were carried out in Robinson’s high -end position and trying to cut the height of cutting Barnes. This idea was correct, but Javonte Green grabbed him tightly and stole the pass on the pass.
Robinson returned to the floor at the end of the third quarter, which was very good. He was in the right position in defense, set up a solid screen, packed it out, and fouled with two free throws. Not attractive, but everything expected in the depth center.
Kelly Olynyk and Chris Boucher According to reports available On the coming trading deadline, it may be the opportunity to open the frontcourt players like a young, cut -out players like Robinson in Toronto. His feeling of defense can make him suitable for the Raptors, and the latter’s super attack defense solution can be driven by a large number of drivers. It is not specific, but Robinson also shows the expectations of the raptor’s expectations for big men.
Robinson said to the Blake Murphy of SportsNet: “When I arrived here, I was really locked. I want to know how to use my opportunity to use my opportunity, and I don’t want to encounter any mistakes.” I have done a question, I really do it, I just want to work on this.
