NCAA Basketball: 10 best players from state of New Hampshire of last decade
By Joey Loose
2. Duncan Robinson – Michigan
The path taken by Robinson is certainly a unique one in today’s college basketball world. The 6’8 forward from New Castle began his collegiate career at Williams, a D3 college in Massachusetts, and had an incredible freshman season. He was highly coveted following that year, and spent the final three years of eligibility playing for John Beilein at Michigan.
After sitting out a year while he transferred, Robinson was very effective in his first year at Michigan, averaging 11.2 points per game as one of the Wolverines’ starting guards. He hit 45% of his 3-pointers that season and settled into a role as a sharpshooter at Michigan. His offensive numbers weren’t as impressive, but he settled into a bench role as a senior and helped lead the Wolverines to the national championship game and consecutive Big Ten tournament titles.
Robinson made the extremely rare jump from D3 to D1, let alone contributing on a powerful program like Michigan. He was named Big Ten Sixth Man of the Year as a senior and really settled into his role. He left school as one of the Big Ten’s most accurate 3-point shooters and played a ton of games while with the Wolverines. He wasn’t drafted that June, but has settled into a starting role with the Miami Heat in recent years.
