Robinson just turned 25 this month.
He was undrafted out of Fresno State in 2022.
Spent two years with the Heat. The first year he was on a two-way contract and the second year he was on a standard NBA contract.
Then this past year he signed an NBA deal with the Kings, but was waived in January.
The Raptors signed him to a 10-day deal, then another 10-day deal, then a two-way contract for the rest of the season.
He's played in 111 career NBA games.
Good rebounder, especially offensive rebounding.

Robinson actually got some real playing time for the Raptors late in the season.
He had 13 PTS, 11 REB, 4 AST, 1 BLK in a win over Washington on March 10.
He had 25 PTS, 12 REB, 6 AST in a win over Philly on March 12.
He had 23 PTS, 12 REB, 3 AST, 1 BLK in a win over Brooklyn on March 26.

In 8 starts last year with the Raptors, he averaged 26.2 MPG, 12.3 PPG, 7.9 RPG, 3.1 APG (!!) on a .603 TS%.
Toronto went 6-2 in the games he started.

He has a nice first name, but what's his wingspan?

Per 36 stats can be a little wonky, but it appears Robinson can actually pass a little?
The last two years combined he's average 3.7 AST/36 which is a nice figure for a big man.
To compare...
Career AST/36
Goga: 2.9
Carter: 2.6
Moe: 2.6
Isaac: 1.4

He looked really good in one summer league game year ago.

Solid addition. Opens things up if we need to make a move during the season.

Good insurance on a Moritz timeline slippage or Goga departure.

I think he's an NBA level talent, just lacking in the kind of athleticism that's more typical of bigs now.

Robinson might get a lot of game time the first 20 games, or so. He is exactly the sort of player the Magic needed to ink for a 2-way.
Usually a team uses 2-way'ers late season; Orlando needs a Center early season. So: no. He's M-Wagner's replacement, not Bitadze's.

Indeed!
If the Magic trade Bitadze, Robinson can be auto upgraded to a full contract!

Good thing we didnt sign anyone from our summer league team.
Seems like a good player for a 2way.
Id cut Ethan Thompson or whatever his name was and give his spot to someone else.
